I have been running exim4 on a Linux (Ubuntu through several versions) server. When I upgraded to 9.04 the machine started to throw bad sector type errors so I have now set up a new server, but when I powered it up I found that I have a configuration problem, all incoming messages for the local domains are being rejected “rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: relay not permitted” I can find no way to
It sounds like trevor.selfip.net is not listed as either primary_hostname nor one of the local_domains. (The default Ubuntu scheme doesn't typically explicitly set primary_hostname which causes Exim to use uname(), gethostbyname() or getipnodebyname() to try to figure it out... which suggests your new server installation doesn't know its default name is trevor.selfip.net. Does your /etc/hosts differ from your old one?)
Alternative fixes are to include trevor.selfip.net in dc_other_hostnames (1) by 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' or (2) by editing /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf by hand and then running /usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf.
