Hi,

one of our customers is using google apps including the gmail-part. Is there any way I can setup this with VMPro? Aside of the gApps, some subdomains/-servers are to be hosted on our server.

Currently any mail that is send from our server to the domain that runs gApps, doesn't leave our server since I have to setup a mail-server for this domain.

Thanks for your help

Sure, you can definitely host a website within Virtualmin, but email at Google apps.

To do that, first go into "Edit Virtual Server", and uncheck "Mail for domain enabled" in the server features.

At that point, you just need to point the MX records to the Google apps server.

To do that, you can go into Servers -> DNS Domain, make sure you delete the "Mail Server" records pointing to your server, then add the ones Google apps tells you to use.

Thanks Eric,

I thought I tried this before, but it didn't work. I tried it today and it seems to work. Maybe the problem I had was fixed with one of the updates since my first try.

I have an old "retired" domain that I use gmail for, just so I won't have to deal with all the spam (which is 99% of the mail this old domain gets). It's been running fine for years.

If you wanted to do this in a wholesale fashion--i.e., all of your domains having mail hosted by GMail--you could add the necessary MX records to the BIND Server Template, and disable mail by default. Also works fine. Several users do that because they have a dedicated mail server. (Some go one step further down the path to awesome, and use the "Command to run after..." features in Virtualmin to trigger automatic management of users on the mail server.)
