Re: exim4 in sarge - config issues with smarthost hostname vs IP

[Hanasaki JiJi]

I have the exim4 heavy package and:

dc_smarthost='hostname'   <===== works if this is an IP
        fails with a hostname of 'smtp'
        hostname smtp resolves to an IP OK
        
        lookup of host "smtp" failed in smarthost router
grep -r DCsmarthost .

./conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp:
        hosts_require_auth = DCsmarthost                <= SAME
./conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp:
        hosts_require_tls = DCsmarthost                 <= MISSING
./conf.d/main/01_exim4-config_listmacrosdefs:
        DCsmarthost = DEBCONFsmarthostDEBCONF           <= SAME
./conf.d/router/200_exim4-config_primary:
        route_list = * DCsmarthost                      <= SAME

1. when did exim4 make it into sarge?


http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/exim4.html

Looks like it was on 2003-10-01


2. cool config stuff

3. smarthost configuration is working fine using the IP of the 
smarthost.  It fails when I put in the hostname of the smarthost. 
"hostname smarthost" does return the IP.  What could be wrong and how 
can it be fixed?


Where did you put the IP address?  Was this in debconf?  Have you looked
at or edited directly /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf or any of the
files in /etc/exim4/conf.d ?
I have 
dc_smarthost='hostname'
in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf and it works fine.  I also have
these:

wingnut:/etc/exim4$ grep -r DCsmarthost .
grep: ./passwd.client: Permission denied
./conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp:  hosts_require_auth = DCsmarthost
./conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp:  hosts_require_tls = DCsmarthost
./conf.d/main/01_exim4-config_listmacrosdefs:DCsmarthost = DEBCONFsmarthostDEBCONF
./conf.d/router/200_exim4-config_primary:  route_list = * DCsmarthost
Are yours the same?

This is exim4 4.22-5.

good times,
Vineet
