Hi peolples, I have a problem running exim. I am working on a side of a firewall that have a dns inside. We have a pop3/smtp mailhost outside of this firewall that is not listed in our DNS, so we use th set up our mail reader (Netscape for instance) with the ip address af the externam mailhost machine. We also have a domain for our e-mails.
I am now trying to set up a linux box inside of the firewall just for personal usage. I set up exim to handle locally e-mail from me to me, and I specified to send every message without domain to our mailhost using the smartuser driver: smartuser: driver = smartuser new_address = [EMAIL PROTECTED] then I modified my /etc/hosts to include the mailhost host. Now the problem: if I use ping or telnet or ftp then I can connect to mailhost, but exim can't connect to mailhost because he just try to get the address from the DNS. It seems to me that exim doesn't look at the /etc/hosts file. Is it true? Should I became DNS myself? Thanks, Giuseppe Sacco
