Thank you. That fixed HOST1. Still haven't worked out how to be able
to send mail from a user@HOST2 to a user@HOST1 (both inside home lan ).
With the setting you suggest above... mail from user@HOST2 to
user@HOST1 fails with smtp output:
sending like this:

I think those ouputs mean that the local mail being sent from HOST2 to
HOST1 is still attempting to be sent to smtp.gmail.com (The smarthost
for HOST1)
I have HOST2 set like this in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf:
dc_eximconfig_configtype='smarthost'
dc_other_hostnames=''
dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1 ; ::1'
dc_readhost='d2.local.lan' # (HOST2)
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets=''
dc_smarthost='dv.local.lan' # (HOST1)
CFILEMODE='644'
dc_use_split_config='false'
dc_hide_mailname='false'
dc_mailname_in_oh='true'
dc_localdelivery='mail_spool'
Is this wrong? Is setting HOST1 as smarthost for HOST2 a mistake?
Contents of /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf on HOST1
dc_eximconfig_configtype='smarthost'
dc_other_hostnames='*.local.lan' # NOTE: This was supposed to tell
# HOST1 that mail from the local
# lan is to be delivered to local
# users... not sent to smarthost
dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1 ; ::1'
dc_readhost=''
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets='192.168.1.0/24'
dc_smarthost='smtp.gmail.com::587'
CFILEMODE='644'
dc_use_split_config='false'
dc_hide_mailname='false'
dc_mailname_in_oh='true'
dc_localdelivery='mail_spool'
smtp_accept_queue_per_connection=300
The attempted send from HOST2 to HOST1 does not appear in the
/var/log/exim4/mainlog on HOST1 at all.
I'm sorry to be so confused about setting this up... but am pretty
confused at this point.
