Re: Configuring exim4 to send emails

2010-04-15 Thread Ruben Varela
Okay, I figured it out.

My hostname was my domain.

ru...@domain.tld:~$ uname -n
domain.tld
ru...@domain.tld:~$ hostname
domain.tld
ru...@domain.ltd:~$ hostname --fqdn
domain.tld

I changed this to server.domain.tld

ru...@domain.ltd:~$ sudo hostname server.domain.tld

and then tried sending emails and this fixed it.

Afterwards, I changed the file /etc/hostname to reflect the hostname
change so it would be reflected on reboots.

I hope this helps someone else.

Configuring exim4 to send emails

2010-04-13 Thread Ruben Varela
I'm configuring an email to send emails. Emails sent to any domain,
apart from my own, are sent okay. I have my emails with Google Apps.

Assuming my domain is, example.com. If I send an email from my server
to ru...@example.com it doesn't arrive at my Google Apps account, it
arrives to my server and I can read it using $ mail.

I configured exim the following way:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
 General type of mail configuration:   internet site; mail is sent
and received directly using SMTP
 System mail name:   domain.tld
 IP-addresses to listen on for incoming S TP connections:
127.0.0.1:xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
 Other destinations for which mail is accepted:   blank
 Domains to relay mail for:blank
 Machines to relay mail for:   blank
 Keep number of DNS-queries minimal (Dial-on-Demand)?:   No
 Delivery method for local mail:   mbox format in /var/mail/
 Split configuration into small files?:   No
 $ sudo update-exim4.conf
 $ sudo /etc/init.d/exim4 restart

Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xx is my external IP address and example.com is my
real domain.

Does anyone know how to correctly configure this?

Try pkg-exim4-us...@lists.alioth.debian.org. That's for Debian users 
with exim4. Also after I run dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config it 
automatically stops and restarts.


BTW if you solve this contact me or post your solution as I'm having the 
same problem.
