I am having a strange problem with email. I am running Vestacp and I have my mail setup through zoho, on one of my sites I have a contact form pointing to my email address, if someone fills that out it will not go to my zoho inbox only to the webmail inbox in the vestacp, but if I email directly it goes to my zoho inbox? Has anyone had this problem?
Thanks

I had the same problem when I tried to implement a contact form, except the mail was going to Webmin and not to Zoho. The same thing happened when I tried to use Outlook even though all the MX records were fine, DNS was fine. In the end I had to get rid of the form because it just wasn't working out. Hopefully someone can offer some help!
Can you post the headers of the emails that are being misplaced?
@silvenga You mean this?

@thedarkfox formatted to make it readable and removed your name from mail address - I hope that's fine by you.
@Spirt thanks, and the emails go to the others just not to the address on my server.
Your mail server is using LMTP and not doing an MX lookup. I'm not near a computer, but you'd have to configure your mail server to try to deliver mail externally.
Did you check the exim log? On Debian it's /var/log/exim4/mainlog
I am new to this but I am looking here: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch08s05.html.en
at 8.5.3. Configuring the Exim4 Mail Transport Agent
configure for internet site
Does this seem to be right?
Perfect. Well it appears from the headers that emails are going:
Vestacp > local MTA > localhostRather than:
Vestacp > local MTA > ZohoIf you were using Postfix I would say that
mydestinationis incorrect, resulting in Exim4 delivering to localhost because it believes that it is the servereasydoctorloans.com. Is there a setting in Exim4 that allows specifying the name of the local server @nunim?However, there are many ways that is can also occur. Like @amhoab said your MTA may be doing internal lookup incorrectly. I would check the logs for more information.
Here is my log:

Crap, wall of text. Ummm, sorry but can you PasteBin that (http://pastebin.com/)? Or Gist (https://gist.github.com/)? So we reduce spam and preserve formatting?
See if this will work (if you're on Debian/Ubuntu): http://serverfault.com/a/150931 .
local mail domain
remove your domain from /etc/localdomains and add it to /etc/remotedomains
Thank you all for the suggestions unfortunately none are working. I am running Centos6 and I have no /etc/localdomains I have located my exim.conf file but not sure what to do from here.
search for localdomains and remotedomains in case it is in another location on your system.
I don't see any MX record pointing to Zoho for that domain:
@Nunim just switched it over to a cpanel hosted account. Thanks all for the help
