I'm setting up exim on another system. I find that mutt can receive mail, but not send it.
The new system is sidux on a Thinkpad X61s. I need to describe the physical setup in case that may be the problem. The Thinkpad is connected to a modem router that is used by my desktop machine for Internet access. I rely on DHCP, and the resolv.conf file on the working desktop picks up just the address of this router (192.168.1.1). On both the desktop machine and the laptop connected to its modem router have this address in their resolv.conf file. The error message back from the server when I use the laptop to send a message to addresses I know are quite valid: SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<the address> host mymail.myregisteredsite.com [209.237.134.152]: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpt hosts (#5.7.1) I can ping both mymail.myregisteredsite.com and 209.237.134.152 from the laptop. I'm mystified by the error message, for obviously the DNS knows of the recipient domains, and I can only infer it has a lookup problem because it doesn't know who I am. Can anyone straighten me out on this? So the problem must be exim setup, but the setup is the same on the two machines with one exception. That is, on my desktop I now see that I gave my system mailname as "teufel.hartford-hwp.com", and should have provided just the domain, "hartford-hwp.com. This error proves to be a nuisance for some newsgroup headers. On my laptop exim configuration I corrected this and just have "hartford-hwp.com". Initially for the laptop, in reply to the configuration question whether to Hide local mail name in outgoing mail? I had said NO. But because of the problem gettng mail out, I changed it to YES, which is what I have on my desktop. Now for both machines, the local mail name is set to be "hartford-hwp.com". Otherwise, exim on the two systems is configured the same.
