cPanel has pushed out an update that fixes this issue. Domains should automatically find their way to /etc/localdomains or /etc/remotedomains appropriately unless the server has been explicitly configured not to do so.

thanks! i was having the exact same problem and couldn't figure out how to fix this through cPanel. i've contacted my host to make the required changes.

The most recent updates of the WHM/cPanel software have fixed this bug. In the past two months, I have edited the MX records for three domains with the software correctly moving the domain entry from /etc/localdomains/ to /etc/remotedomains/.

Abhijeet,
Read this post about "How to use Gmail as your SMTP Server". According to that post, it looks like you don't have your phpBB SMTP settings configured correctly to work with Google's SMTP. More specifically, I would first recommend setting your SMTP username and password to match a Google email address (e.g. someone@gmail.com) and the password associated with that address.

Let me know if that solves your problem.

Hello,
My host has confirmed that my domain is moved from /etc/localdomains to /etc/remotedomains but I am still facing the same problem.

I am using phpBB forums and I have set
Use SMTP Server for email --> Yes
SMTP Server Address --> smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Username --> abhijeet@shrigonda.in
SMTP Password --> XXXXXXXXXX

When some one tries to signup for my forum it gives the following error :
Ran into problems sending Mail. Response: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first h40sm4102927wxd
DEBUG MODE
Line : 126
File : smtp.php

Please let me know how I can solve this problem

Abhijeet,
If you only have access to CPanel and WHM, then you will be unable to edit the necessary files. However, you can send a support request to your hosting provider that reads as follows:

Please remove my domain ****.com from /etc/localdomains and add it to /etc/remotedomains

Hello Michael,

I too am facing the same problem as you described above.

I have access to WHM and cPanel both. but have never used Apache before.

Please provide step by step directions regarding how to do this (moving domain from /etc/localdomains to /etc/remotedomains)

Jay,
If it turns out that your problem is due to the same misconfiguration that I describe, then you will not be able to fix it via CPanel; however, this is something your webhost should be able to fix.

Simply ask them to move the domain entry for your domain from /etc/localdomains to /etc/remotedomains. Mention to them that you are wanting your domain to handle all email services remotely.
