php mail() function sends to internal mailserver regardless of MX entry for domain.

I host my site on the virtualmin server but the email is hosted with google. The email works fine from anywhere but my server, if i try to use mail() in php it tries to deliver the message locally. Is there a way to override this behaviour?

Thanks!

Howdy,

It's no problem to host email elsewhere, but if you do that -- you'd need to go into Edit Virtual Server -> Enabled Features, and disable the "Mail for Domain" feature. So long as that feature is set, Postfix will attempt to accept delivery for that email locally.
