Sending emails from web?

Does sending email from the web only work when the domain name is pointing at the server?

Or do i need to push a button somewhere? I am dreading having to go back on live chat with a tech guy who is obviously shaking his head in frustration at my ignorance

Anyway, i am unable to send any emails from my sites at the moment. But that is an improvment from this morning, i didnt have any sites then

Mail server must be pointed to server ip address in order to send mails from domains and mail scripts.

i.e., mail.domain_name must ping to server ip.

It is suggested to initiate a support request at vps@webhosting.uk.com so that we can investigate the problem and assist you accordingly.

Hello,

You can check the MX record for the domain from "WHM >> Main >> DNS Functions >> Edit DNS Zone".

Actually that is not required.

MX is needed to receive not send. Localhost sends mail and can be done from the scripts on your website
