I'm having many confusions while setting up exim. I use Parabola GNU OS (Arch)
I'm executing exim -bt -d-resolver [email protected] I get DNS lookup of designman.org(MX) gave TRY_AGAIN but "dig @8.8.8.8 designman.org MX" shows a record designman.org. 3599 IN MX 5 anonymous.designman.org nslookup does not show anything. I get connection timed out. How does exim look dns records internally? I have a user named anonymous and hostname is also anonymous. I have a few questions: 1. How to add users? Are these users just the users on OS? And the passwords their respective account passwords? 2. What is root and postmaster in aliases? Is it the same as root user on my OS? I don't want exim to have access to root obviously. 3. I want to rather have mail.designman.org above? Do I have to keep primary_hostname=anonymous since my hostname is anonymous , i.e. Does exim check whether primary_hostname is really my system's hostname? Please add me to cc for your replies. I'm not subscribed in this mailing list. Thanking you Sagar Acharya https://designman.org P.S. There's much nomenclature specific to mail servers which isn't clear. I read some of the book on Exim but it shows how Exim has been implemented, not much on user setup. -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
