I have a wordpress website set up for a company on domain.com
, with a contact form. The company already has mail set up on gmail, info@companyname.com
. I want the contact form to send mail to the company's gmail. I have done several things:
- The contact form is configured to send from:
domain@domain.com
(default email address for my domain?) to:info@companyname.com
The website is hosted on cPanel. From the cPanel hosting dashboard, I have set the MX entry records to Google Apps MX record values and set email routing to remote mail exchanger (which I assume means it will not handle the mail locally, but send it to the records above)
After doing so, mail was bouncing back at domain@domain.com webmail with the error message:
No such user : info@companyname.com
Completely clueless as to what is the usual procedure to going about achieving this (simply getting a contact form to send mail to gmail, a different server). There is also an option on cPanel hosting to setup an email forwarder - not sure if this is the way to go. Any help/explanation?
