I see these from time to time.  It occurs when exim accepted the
message during the SMTP session but a system filter fails the
delivery.  These settings in my exim.conf cause those stuck bounces to
vanish after a while :

# try resending after 15 minutes
auto_thaw = 15m
# if can't send after 8 days, cancel and notify sender
timeout_frozen_after = 8d
# failling bounce messages are discarded after this much time in the queue

Eduardo Message is frozen

No, it is not normal. It often (in my experience anyway, I'm learning
exim kinda slowly) points to some kind of misconfiguration in the exim
configuration. A message is frozen when it cannot be delivered to the
destination, and cannot be returned to the sender.

You probably want to determine if there is something common amongst
all those frozen messages.

These are old messages frozen in your mail queue.  You can see their
metadata with the 'mailq' command.  Then you can use exim to either
throw them away or try to re-deliver them, (but first you'll have to fix
the problem that prevented their delivery in the first place or change
their destination addresses to something that will work).

 T=address_pipe: return message generated

exim doesn't like to see anything come back from the output of a pipe
delivery.  Your procmail delivery is creating some kind of output, and
exim sees this as an erroneous delivery.

The bounce was sent successfully, so debian-user will probably
unsubscribe you, since it can't deliver messages to you.

 
 And, the line:
 
 Message is frozen 
 
 is appearing very many times in the log, is this normal ?

You should deal with those frozen messages.  Start with mailq, then read
the exim manpage to see how to use -M , -Mrm , -Mar , -Mg , -Mmd , etc.
to process those frozen messages.

good times,

Exim error: transport flatfile_aliases: cannot find transport driverredirect

2003-02-16 Thread Rus Foster
Hi All,
I'm trying to get the following working on exim. I picked the following
config from an exim 4 server which works. The idea is to allow a file with
the format

domain.com:  username

to map domains to users. However I put the following config in. Restarted
exim and got

 transport flatfile_aliases: cannot find transport driver redirect in
line 289

 flatfile_aliases:
  driver = redirect
  allow_defer
  allow_fail
  data = ${lookup{$local_part@$domain}lsearch*{/etc/exim/virtual}}
  file_transport = address_file
  pipe_transport = address_pipe
  require_files = /etc/exim/virtual


I that that I might of put it in the wrong section (orignally put it in
the directors config which didn't work) so I moved it to the Transports
section. Still no luck. Have I done something stupid?

Cheers

If there are any mailing list and exim experts out there I would
appreciate a second set of eyeballs on what I've done.

Quoting Paul Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Mon, Jun 24 07:55:

 What does this mean?

 LOG: 0 MAIN PANIC DIE
   Neither the system_aliases director nor the address_pipe transport
set a uid for local delivery of | /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

From a google search I managed to piece together something that worked.
First, I moved all of the sympa specific aliases into a separate
aliases file (/etc/aliases.sympa).  Then I added the following to
exim's 'TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION' section:
- Begin TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION -
sympa_list_pipe:
   driver = pipe
user = sympa
group = sympa
return_fail_output
- End TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION -

And this to exim's 'DIRECTORS CONFIGURATION' section:
- Begin DIRECTORS CONFIGURATION -
sympa_lists:
   driver = aliasfile
   search_type = lsearch
   file = /etc/aliases.sympa
   pipe_transport = sympa_list_pipe
- End DIRECTORS CONFIGURATION -

I put the above after the system_aliases: and before the userforward:
sections.

I had to take the domain part out of the aliases (that is, the part to
the left of the colon) in /etc/aliases.sympa in order to get it to work.  I
believe there is an option in the exim config that will allow domains
in the alias file but I don't know what it is.  My /etc/aliases.sympa
looks like this:
- Begin aliases.sympa -
#-- SYMPA begin
## Aliases used for the sympa mailing-list manager
sympa: | /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue sympa
sympa-request: postmaster
sympa-owner: postmaster
listmaster: postmaster

It means that neither the filter nor the transport specified which uid
to run the program as.

You have 2 choices for correcting that.

1)  put
system_filter_user = pick a user
in the global section of the config

2)  put
user = pick a user
in the 'address_pipe' transport

I think the former is a better choice for you since the address_pipe
transport is likely used by other pipe-generating parts of the system
and you don't want them to obtain access to the user you're running
sympa as.

Try the following command (put a message into msg first) :

if exim exits successfully (returns 0) success will be printed,
otherwise failure will be printed.

If you don't see anything in mainlog when you do that, increase the

Error messages go to neither the From: nor Reply-To: addresses.  They
go to the MAIL FROM: address (sometimes called the envelope
sender).  Picture it this way:  you take out a sheet of paper and
write a letter on it.  At the top of it you write that is is from you,
but a response should be sent to your other address.  Now you take
that paper, fold it, and put it in an envelope.  On the envelope you
put the recipients address and your return address.  If there is a
problem, is the post office going to open the envelope and see that
you want responses sent to a different address?  The correct solution
is to put the proper return address on the envelope.  For email this
means setting the right envelope sender.  

What is currently being set as the envelope sender (given in the MAIL
FROM: SMTP command)?  What do you want it to be?

My IP address is 210.55.104.94. mail.win.co.nz is my ISPs SMTP server
that I used to try and send mail to myself.

It looks like I am prohibiting the receipt of the message. Any
suggestions? I'm running Debian unstable.

I had a problem with exim binding to port 25 but I have now solved that.
I'm running exim as a daemon.

Many thanks,
Adam

I discovered that I had to add 210.55.104.94 to local_domains in
exim.conf.

I'll be unsubscribing from these mailing lists to make sure I don't
cause excessive bounced mail while I transfer the domain.

Exim Error: Sender Domain must Exist

2000-08-23 Thread Sebastian Canagaratna
Hi:

   I am using Debian Potato from home and connect by modem to my
   university network using exim. The connection uses DHCP. My machine
   is named sebastian. I can collect, using fetchmail, my mail
   coming to the university post office server, but when I send mail
   to the university or outside, I get the error message; Sender
   domain must exist. My machine is interpreted as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   which is clearly not recognized as an legitimate machine. I guess
   it recognizes the IP address given to me by the DHCP server, 
   but how do I configure exim to look after this?

   Thanks in advance.

When I first set up exim a long time ago with my isp, I had the same
problem.  The sender is your user.  Exim probably sends it as coming from
username@sebastian.  The SMTP server of  onu doesn't like that.

Solution: use address rewriting to change [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the email
address you want people to see.

In my exim.conf, at the bottom under Address Rewriting:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]  [EMAIL PROTECTED]Ffsr
^^ ^ 
|| rewrite it in these fields(From sender reply-to)
anything from my machine |
 |rewrite it to this

Hope you understand my ascii art :)

 
Thanks in advance.

Pardon me for possible stupidity...  Why is the email addressed to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  Localhost is a special hostname that is for the loopback
address of 127.0.0.1, maybe that could be contributing to your problem.  Is the
escarlata user defined on your mailserver @ciberia.es?  If not I could see it
rejecting the address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] which will be locally resolved on
your mailserver.

No, the problem was with procmail.  There was no
/home/escarlata/Mail/log/ directory, so that was it.

Thank you for your interest.

Exim error message

1999-05-30 Thread Phillip Deackes
I had a look in my /var/log/exim/paniclog and noticed the following
line:

1999-05-30 18:56:10 socket bind() to port 25 for address (any) failed:
Address already in use: daemon abandoned

Any idea what it means? I have lots of these messages in the exim
mainlog too. Apart from this all is well! Mail is getting sent and
received (using fetchmail == exim) from my IP's POP server.

Thanks.

Thanks George. I looked in /etc/init.d and found the expected 'exim'
file which starts the exim daemon if it hasn't been started by
/etc/inetd.conf (at least that's my understanding). I noticed, however,
that there was another unexpected file, 'sendmail' which was attempting
to start a sendmail daemon. The date of the file was well before the
date when I installed exim so I assume it was a leftover.

Anyway I have backed-up and deleted this file and so far the mail system
is still working.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
