I am trying to do the following: I have a domain name (coffeebreaks.org), and a server serving pages for that domain (coffeebreak). I've set up several tools on the machine, including syncmail, for CVS commit messages.
Exim has been configured to send my email to my ISP, and I've changed the following: -------- smarthost: driver = domainlist transport = remote_smtp route_list = * <ISP.SMTP.SERVER> byname #lookuphost: # driver = lookuphost # transport = remote_smtp -------- Now I have 2 problems: - my local email is being sent to my SMTP server. This is probably a problem with hostname config. I can live with that for now, but would be happy if that could be fixed as well. Some info > dnsdomainname coffeebreaks.org > hostname coffeebreak Some relevant bits of the exim config: # this should perhaps be coffeebreak.coffeebreaks.org? qualify_domain = coffeebreaks.org # this should probably be localhost:coffeebreak.localnet local_domains = localhost:CoffeeBreak # host_lookup = * - syncmail emails are refused due to non existing originating domain: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=2570: host <ISP.SMTP.SERVER> [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: 553 5.1.8 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Domain of sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exist But mail works from the command line: Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [...] Received: from coffeebreak.coffeebreaks.org (xxxx.xx.xxxxx.xx [xxxxxxxxxx]) by mailxx.xxx.xx (8.12.11/8.12.11) with ESMTP id i7BLGKjD004259; Wed, 11 Aug 2004 23:16:21 +0200 (CEST) Received: from jerome by coffeebreak.coffeebreaks.org with local (Exim 3.36 #1 (Debian)) id 1Bv0SK-0005r1-00; Wed, 11 Aug 2004 23:16:20 +0200 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: test sending email with exim Note: the headers for the accepted mail I don't see <ISP.SMTP.SERVER>, but another server, probably the one that takes care of handling the mail, being after <ISP.SMTP.SERVER>. Another solution which I haven't tried would be to mess with /etc/mail- addresses but I would really like to fix it cleanly. Any idea to help me solve the problem would be greatly appreciated.
