So I go to subscribe to the slrn-user mailing list ... it sends me a confirmation email ... I reply to it and get the following complaint from exim: <quote> This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] SMTP error from remote mailer after HELO toadstool: host mail.sourceforge.net [66.35.250.206]: 550 Don't like your HELO/EHLO. Hostname must contain a dot. </quote>
So I telnet to port 25 of my machine and sure enough: <quote> 220 toadstool ESMTP Exim 3.36 #1 Tue, 23 Sep 2003 19:19:50 -0600 </quote>
All references to my hostname in exim.conf are fully-qualified. The line in /etc/hostname is fully qualified. There was a line in /etc/hosts referring to simply 'toadstool', but I changed that to the fully-qualified name, restarted exim, and still the same deal.
Would I need to restart any process, or heaven forbid reboot the machine, to get this working?
How can I get exim to report the fully-qualified name?
Thanks in advance for any advice you kind folk might be able to give me!
