I'm running exim on my mail server, which is fully DNS registered, and
has proper connectivity to the outside world. I'll call it
server.domain1.com
One of my mates wants me to set it up so that mail sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] gets directed to his workstation (which doesn't have an
MX record), which I'll call
workstation.domain2.com
I'm sure it's possible to get this stuff to work, but I'm getting a
little confused by all the router, director and transport terminology in
the manual.
I've entered an alias in /etc/aliases as follows;
user: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
but when I send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it bounces, with the
following error:
--cut--
A message that you sent could not be delivered to all of its recipients.
The following address(es) failed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:
(generated from [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
unrouteable mail domain "workstation.domain2.com"
--cut--
I've checked that his machine is capable of accepting mail by telnetting
to port 25 and using the "VRFY [EMAIL PROTECTED]" command.
What would be the easiest safe way of getting this working (without
getting him an MX entry, which is frowned upon round here for people's
desktop machines).
Any advice would be much appreciated.
I noticed the ROUTERS CONFIGURATION section in /etc/exim.conf. Is this
the right place to be looking? Should I put the;
literal:
driver = ipliteral
transport = remote_smtp
section before the
lookuphost:
driver = lookuphost
transport = remote_smtp
section? Is that the best solution? I'd rather do something like that on
a host by host basis if possible, which is a bit beyond me.
Thanks.
P.S. I'm running the latest version of slink.
