I recently switched from smail to exim as my MTA in the hopes of getting something a bit easier to configure and which can more easily handle spam blocking. However, I've run into some problems getting exim to process my local, user-to-user mail.
I'm using the bogus domain name of "golgotha.net" with a bogus machine name of "spartacus.golgotha.net". My internet access is through my ISP which is "together.net". The problem I'm having is that my local mail (i.e. from user to user on this machine) is being sent out to my ISP. If someone could take a look at the below config and spot any mistakes I'd greatly appreciate it. # This is the main exim configuration file. # It was originally generated by `eximconfig', part of the exim package # distributed with Debian, but it may edited by the mail system administrator. # This file originally generated by eximconfig at Thu Dec 13 17:54:43 EST 1997 # See exim info section for details of the things that can be configured here. # General configuration here, such as local domains qualify_domain = golgotha.net local_domains = golgotha.net local_domains_include_host = true local_domains_include_host_literals = true never_users = root trusted_users = mail gecos_pattern = ^([^,:]*) gecos_name = $1 received_header_text = "Received: \ ${if def:sender_fullhost {from ${sender_fullhost} \ ${if def:sender_ident {(${sender_ident})}}\n\t}\ {${if def:sender_ident {from ${sender_ident} }}}}\ by ${primary_hostname} \ ${if def:received_protocol {with ${received_protocol}}} \ (Exim ${version_number} #${compile_number})\n\t\ id ${message_id} (Debian)" end ###################################################################### # TRANPORTS CONFIGURATION # ###################################################################### local_delivery: driver = appendfile; group = mail mode = 0660 file = /var/spool/mail/${local_part} address_pipe: driver = pipe; address_file: driver = appendfile address_reply: driver = autoreply # General configuration for SMTP delivery smtp: driver = smtp; end ###################################################################### # DIRECTORS CONFIGURATION # ###################################################################### real_local: prefix = real-, driver = localuser, transport = local_delivery; system_aliases: driver = aliasfile; file = /etc/aliases, search_type = lsearch # user = list # Uncomment the above line if you are running smartlist userforward: no_verify, driver = forwardfile; file = .forward, modemask = 002, filter smart: driver = smartuser; new_address = [EMAIL PROTECTED] end ###################################################################### # ROUTERS CONFIGURATION # ###################################################################### smarthost: driver = domainlist, transport = smtp; route_list = "* together.net bydns_a" end ###################################################################### # RETRY CONFIGURATION # ###################################################################### # Domain Error Retries # ------ ----- ------- * * F,2h,15m; G,16h,2h,1.5; F,4d,8h end ###################################################################### # REWRITE CONFIGURATION # ###################################################################### # These rewriters make sure the mail messages appear to have originated # from the real mail-reading host. ^(root|postmaster|mailer-daemon)@spartacus.golgotha.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffr [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffr [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffr # End of Exim configuration file Regards, | Debian GNU/ __ o . | / / _ _ _ _ _ __ __ Randy | / /__ / / / \// //_// \ \/ / ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | /____/ /_/ /_/\/ /___/ /_/\_\ | ...because lockups are for convicts... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
