WHM/Cpanel wrong mail host after using transfer tool


I'm out of options. After using the WHM transfer tool to copy my entire cpanel account to my other server for testing (did that several times without problems) there were a lot of problems, als see

After changing back the .htaccess the site was up-and-running again. Also i did the dovecot and exim reset. Mail is sending, but incoming mail is a problem. It seems that there is a redirect or something only for incomming mail. I get this faults:

Cpanel mail

SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:[email protected]: 550-Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client.\n550-cloud.tricotstoffen.nl [31.186.173.214]:50078 is not permitted to relay\n550 through this server without authentication.

Bounced mail (hotmail)

host cloud.meisjemeis.nl [31.186.173.208] SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:[email protected]: 550-Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client. 550-cloud.tricotstoffen.nl [31.186.173.214]:48250 is not permitted to relay 550 through this server without authentication.

The last one contains the wrong host (cloud.meisjemeis.nl is not the correct one)


Solution

  • For some reason the /etc/manualmx was changed. Setting the correct value did the job
