Hi

Apologies for the naive question, but my Exim skills are now very rusty.

We've been unexpectedly jumped onto a new ip address for our domain and
we have a problem with the address being cold. Consequently we've got
about 1000 yahoo and aol emails backed up over the last day or so.

Our service provider has provided us with a backup relay which we can
use, but we'd prefer to only send aol and yahoo emails through them.

We're using a simple setup using Debian's packaged configurations which
I guess we will need to tweak.

The Debian routers for our config (dc_eximconfig_configtype='internet') are as
follows:

        dnslookup_relay_to_domains:
          debug_print = "R: dnslookup_relay_to_domains for $local_part@$domain"
          driver = dnslookup
          domains = ! +local_domains : +relay_to_domains
          transport = remote_smtp
          same_domain_copy_routing = yes
          no_more

        dnslookup:
          debug_print = "R: dnslookup for $local_part@$domain"
          driver = dnslookup
          domains = ! +local_domains
          transport = remote_smtp
          same_domain_copy_routing = yes
          ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 0000::0000/0 : 127.0.0.0/8 : 
192.168.0.0/16 :\
                                                        172.16.0.0/12 : 
10.0.0.0/8 : 169.254.0.0/16 :\
                                255.255.255.255
          no_more

What I believe I need to add is a block like this:

        dns_yahoo_aol:
          debug_print = "R: dnslookup_yahoo_aol for $local_part@$domain"
          driver = dnslookup
          domains = aol.com : yahoo.com
          transport = remote_smtp_smarthost
      route_list = mx.localrelay.com byname
          same_domain_copy_routing = yes
          no_more

The normal Debian exim4 config has

        route_list = * DCsmarthost byname
        and
        host_find_failed = ignore

but I don't know if those are worth retaining.

Comments gratefully received.
