I am trying to setup exim 3.02 on a potato system. The system is the firewall/gateway for my network. The problem is that I can accept email for the internal host but the email is not routing to the internal host. Exim does not know what to do with it. The internal host is in the /etc/hosts file of the gateway. Exim does not seem to look there. I can ping and traceroute to the internal email server. How exactly do I configure exim.conf to do this.
exim.conf qualify_domain = gateway.home.com qualify_recipient = internal.home.com receiver_unqualified_hosts = 172.16.1.2 local_domains = localhost:gateway.home.com local_domains_include_host = true local_domains_include_host_literals = true relay_domains = *.home.com never_users = root host_lookup = * host_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1:172.16.0.0/24 # percent_hack_domains=* trusted_users = mail smtp_verify = true ###################################################################### # TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION # ###################################################################### # ORDER DOES NOT MATTER # # Only one appropriate transport is called for each delivery. # ###################################################################### remote_smtp: driver = smtp end ###################################################################### # DIRECTORS CONFIGURATION # # Specifies how local addresses are handled # ###################################################################### # ORDER DOES MATTER # # A local address is passed to each in turn until it is accepted. # ###################################################################### real_local: prefix = real- driver = localuser transport = local_delivery system_aliases: driver = aliasfile file_transport = address_file pipe_transport = address_pipe file = /etc/aliases search_type = lsearch # user = list # Uncomment the above line if you are running smartlist userforward: driver = forwardfile file_transport = address_file pipe_transport = address_pipe reply_transport = address_reply no_verify check_ancestor file = .forward modemask = 002 filter localuser: driver = localuser transport = local_delivery smart: driver = smartuser new_address = [EMAIL PROTECTED] end ###################################################################### # ROUTERS CONFIGURATION # # Specifies how remote addresses are handled # ###################################################################### # ORDER DOES MATTER # # A remote address is passed to each in turn until it is accepted. # ###################################################################### lookuphost: driver = lookuphost transport = remote_smtp literal: driver = ipliteral transport = remote_smtp LAN_deliver: driver = domainlist transport = remote_smtp route_list = "aes1.aes.ac.in bydns_a" end Thanks in advance for your help in this matter. -- Bruce Jackson Debian Linux: because reboots are for hardware upgrades! www.debian.org www.fsf.org www.linux.com
