Re: Configuring Exim for mail delivery

exim4 does not. IIRC there is no reference to hubbed_hosts in the upstream documentation, only in the Debian docs. They work because the debian config contains a router to handle hubbed hosts. You can see what it is doing if you search /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated for the text hubbed_hosts. If the file is not populated this router is skipped and then exim4 requires either that the address is the local machine, or that there is a smarthost configured that it can delegate to, or that it can find an official MX entry for the target domain by doing a DNS lookup. All of which will fail for a local box that isn't registered to the world as a mail server. Mark

Re: Configuring Exim for mail delivery

cal machine names and so won't be able to give you back an IP address to use, unless your target machines are publicly individually visible on the Internet, which is unlikely if this is a home configuration we are talking about here. So the configuration you are after is local domains specified in hubbed_hosts, and everything else falls through to either a smarthost or a dns-based attempt to send outside your network. Hope that helps, let us know if you need more help. Mark

Re: Getting fqdn, postfix, Comcast to all play nice together

time to wading through the adverto-babble the information is there. All that sets me back about $250 a month. No doubt not the cheapest but you have to decide if what you want is cheap or good -- you don't typically get both, except sometimes temporarily by luck. Mark

Re: Any idea when CVE-2016-5696 is going to get fixed?

issue unless there had been one of the usual mails saying "this issue is fixed in...". But I agree that is not how the CVE item you linked to makes it look. Could there be a duplicate, with all the updates on the other one? Mark

Re: exim4 under jessie vs wheezy

I would bet you do not recall what you answered to the questions regarding mail config when installing wheezy. I kept records of what I answered to those questions when installing sarge, etch, lenny, squeeze, and wheezy. If you have a backup copy of /etc/exim4 you could diff and see.

Appologies for the repost. I sent this yesterday and it hasn't yet appeared. It may have been filtered out for some reason. I would appreciate some help configuring exim4. What I want: I have multiple machines that I maintain and have root access on. They have domain ecn.purdue.edu and names

machine checks on Dell R815 under jessie
