I've got a Debain machine running exim acting as a MASQ machine on a pppoe
connection (e.g. the machine has two NICs).
The hostname is "burn". The domain, for this example, is "burn.foo.net"
The problem is if I send mail to outside machines:
echo "hello" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
gives this:
...error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM: ...
501 5.1.8 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Domain of sender address
[EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exist
Which is correct, burn.foo.net does not resolve.
So, in exim.conf I can add:
qualify_domain = foo.net
And that fixes that problem (since foo.net) exists, but it now means that
echo "hello" | mail moseley
gets sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of delivered locally.
I only want unqualified MAIL FROM: addresses modified, not the RCPT TO:
addresses.
