exim - allowed domains

1999-02-09 Thread Graham Ashton
I've got a bit of a problem with my exim config at the moment, and the
exim web site's DNS is refusing to resolve so I can't get to the right
part of the manual. Apologies for posting it here, but I'm in a bit of
a rush to fix the problem...

exim is receiving mail perfectly happily for all mails addressed to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]

what it isn't doing at the moment, is accepting mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
which is being forwarded from my other account so that I can read it
on my own mailhost. I don't have control over the box that's doing the
forwarding, so I can't take just delete the route in the mean time!

what I'd like to do is to tell exim to accept mail addressed to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] as well.

so my question is this: should I list domain2.com in the 'local_domains'
field in exim.conf?

my gutt reaction is that this wouldn't be exactly what I want, as
domain2.com isn't really a local domain.

any thoughts? TIA.

sorry for replying to my own post, but this now seems to have resolved
itself. it appears that exim was quite happily accepting my forwarded
messages, but that the system that was sending them out was having
problems.

sorry for the wasted bandwidth. I'll dig harder next time...
