How to Disable Bounce Back Emails

[boonchuan]

My Direct Admin servers are only for web. Email servers are separated. Hence I need only to send form to email from this server. But I notice a lot of bounce back emails in the queue. Is there anyway to disable this such that the server only send out emails but not received any such bounces?

use blackhole instead.

Well wait if your not using email on your server then you shouldnt have a mx record pointing back to your server. You need to login as that user go to dns management then find this little link "Modify MX Records".

After you are the next page you should delete the mx records pointing to your server. Also uncheck this box " Use this server to handle my emails.
If not, change the MX record and uncheck this option".

That should fix it!

On another matter..
then if u use sendmail, ur emails from ur scripts might get blocked by some ISP's, right ?
If they check the source of your emails.
You might want to use smtp in your script, and make it send via your mailserver.

If you have DNS for users turned on at the admin and reseller level, then you'll find a section called MX Records in your user login. Click on that, and you'll find it.
