I have finaly managed to set up my exim4 install on my server, it works almost OK.
But some emails are never arriving to their destination! I have a script that sends emails to 3 persons when I commit some code to CVS on the machine. The 2 other persons receive the emails, but I don't receive them. I don't understand why because they seem to be treated the same by exim4. Here are the logs for the exim server 2004-08-12 14:49:17 1BvF1B-0000BC-BI <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=jerome P=local S=5045 2004-08-12 14:49:19 1BvF1B-0000BC-BI => [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost H=smtp.online.no [193.213.115.8] 2004-08-12 14:49:19 1BvF1B-0000BC-BI -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost H=smtp.online.no [193.213.115.8] 2004-08-12 14:49:19 1BvF1B-0000BC-BI -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost H=smtp.online.no [193.213.115.8] 2004-08-12 14:49:19 1BvF1B-0000BC-BI Completed On the command line, This works: > mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] But this doesn't (mails are sent but never arrive) > mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Any idea on what's going on? My personal feeling is that the email is not accepted by one of the intermediate SMTP servers on the ground that the Sender domain doesn't point to an existing IP (see below). Nobody gets notified back because of that. more info: - the email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] is an alias on my real mail box - the domain name for my machine is coffeebreaks.dyndns.org is an existing domain, although right now the machine that sends the emails is NOT located at the IP address identified by that domain name and points to 192.168.7.21. But the ISP SMTP accepts the sender address anyway. - exim4 config [EMAIL PROTECTED]> cat /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf # /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf # # Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf # yourself or use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' dc_eximconfig_configtype='smarthost' dc_other_hostnames='' dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1' dc_readhost='' dc_relay_domains='' dc_minimaldns='true' dc_relay_nets=192.168.3.0/24'' dc_smarthost='smtp.online.no' CFILEMODE='644' dc_use_split_config='false' dc_hide_mailname='false' Jerome -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
