"External" emails not recieving forum mail

It recently came to my attention that our forums are not sending notifications to external email addresses.  Eg:

joebob@iliff.edu - Recieves emails from the forum

joebob@aol.com; hotmail.com; yahoo.com; etc - Does not recieve emails from the forum

Is this a problem with my php.ini?  Am I not addressing the correct SMTP address?  These are my only guesses.

Thanks!

I am also having the same problem with my Moodle course.  No email notifications are being received from the forums.  I'd appreciate any insight.

I'm having the same problem. Your suggestion will work, but I cannot get the cron to do it automatically. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the cron several times. Occasionally, it will send mails automatically, but I mostly have to do it the way you suggested.

If you have a Cpanel server with an MX-record pointing to another server then localhost, it's one of the not-so-wellknown-bugs of Cpanel. I'll look it up again if that's the case.

Yes, I am using a Cpanel server.  Do you have anymore information on how to correct this bug?

Take the domain out of /etc/localdomains and put it in /etc/remotedomains (and create that file if necessary).
