Disable internal e-mails?

[JasonF]

Probably not the best title but here's my situation.

I am currently using the mail GoogleApp thing. Where you can setup your domain to point mail to your GoogleApp account. I added some dns entries on my domain(hosted externally @ godaddy) and all is good. I can send e-mails to person@mydomain.com.

My Problem:
I can't seem to send email to my domain from my VPS. For example using php Mail() doesn't work. When I do exim -bt -d person@mydomain.com I can see that it thinks the person has a email account locally because the vps has the same domain name as the email account. It throws lots of "No Such User Here".

Does this make any sense? If so..basically I don't want mail that has the same domain name as my vps to think that it belongs to user on the server. Is there any way to do this?

Hi BalGaInTl,

Thanks for the links. I didn't realize that I needed to add the MX records.

All working now. :-D cheers.
