Hello If I configure my exim on my laptop according to what's written in the comments, I cannot send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The comment says that primary_hostname should be "your host's canonical name [...] the fully qualified "official" name of your host". Well my laptop is called kestrel and my domain is twibright.com. So I put kestrel.twibright.com there. But misc@openbsd.org says rejected since sender verify failed. The "from" header is set to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the "from:" header to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No wonder it failed. My laptop doesn't have any externally valid IP address so I didn't make any DNS record for it. misc apparently tries to lookup kestrel.twibright.com and fails. So I tried to put "twibright.com" there but now I cannot send post to my brother [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now exim thinks [EMAIL PROTECTED] is for him (even if local_comains are set just to @ : localhost) and says "unknown user". -t mx for twibright.com is twin.jikos.cz. So what should I put there? Or should I put some random bullshit like 195.195.195.195 into the kestrel.twibright.com so that misc@ is satisfied? Is there a RFC saying that the "from" header after stripping the @ and before must succeed in DNS lookup? Do I violate any RFC if I put random garbage into DNS to satisfy paranoid hosts like [EMAIL PROTECTED] All these "anti-spam" policies... They just make it almost impossible for normal people to send e-mail reliably, while they have no visible effect on the spam tsunami... I still get hundreds of spams daily. They turn the MTA configuration task from a fifteen puzzle into a sixteen puzzle. CL<
