BillionMail routing email locally while MX is External #308

What do you want to ask?

Hello,

We have added a domain for example abcd.com, we have only 1 user (no-reply@abcd.com). abcd.com's MX is ponted to Google Workspace.

However, when we are sending email from no-reply@abcd.com to someone@abcd.com, it's failing because it's checking for user at this billionmail setup & not looking for external MX (which is Google Workspace). We have user there.

As I'm not sure where the settings is, I'm putting this in Question section rather than enhancement/bug. Billionmail should check MX Record from Domain, not route locally, or at least provide option to select "Remote Mail Exchanger".

Email Addresses are changed in log.
