Hello all, I am trying to configure Exim as a mail hub. The job of this hub will be to pass all mail for our domain to another box running Exim behind the firewall. One of the things I want the mail hub to do is make sure that the recipient is valid.
I have read the FAQ and I also have a copy of "The Exim SMTP Mail Server Official Guide for Release 4", both of which speak a little about doing this. However when I try to implement it I get failures like the following: Connected to mx1. Escape character is '^]'. 220-mx1.domain.com 220 We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited or bulk e-mail. helo domain.com 250 mx1.domain.com Hello agramon.domain.com [128.x.x.x] mail from:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 250 OK rcpt to:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 550-Verification failed for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 550-Unrouteable address 550 Sender verify failed quit 221 mx1.domain.com closing connection Connection closed by foreign host. My router looks like the following: internalroute: driver = manualroute local_parts = lsearch;/etc/exim/aliases route_data = ${lookup{$domain}partial-lsearch{/etc/exim/routes}} hosts_randomize transport = remote_smtp I believe I may be misusing the local_parts option here. All I want to do is check the local part given during RCPT command and make sure it matches a local part we actually service (username or alias located in a file or database). If I remove the local_parts line everything works fine, without any recipient verification. If someone could just point me in the correct direction it would be much appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary Rule 2.6.10 GNU/Linux Systems Administrator BBN Technologies Interdepartmental Services Group email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 617.873.3274 Fax: 617.873.4500 -- Dying is a very dull, dreary affair.
