I have the following configuration file (attached at the end). The
router "virtual" works great for the most part, but seems to cause
problems with other components. To wit:

following address(es) failed:
Aaron@???:
virtual router:

---- END -----
agdstudio only fails sometimes (I'm guessing when exim has trouble
getting the MX record, but I'm not certain).
I also get this error any time I try to email to someone@123.456.789.000
(an IP literal address). Doing exim -v -bt bazyar@204.181.154.2 results in:
bazyar@204.181.154.2 is undeliverable:
virtual router: couldnotlocate
Now, my "virtual" router looks like this:
---- BEGIN ----
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
FILE *f;
char *x;
char msg[128];
/*syslog(LOG_NDELAY,"findhost: %s",argv[2]);*/
f = fopen(argv[1],"r");
while ((x = fgets(line,1023,f)) != NULL) {
int l = strlen(argv[2]);
if (!strncasecmp(argv[2],line,l)) {
/* fprintf(stderr,"%s\n",line); */
printf("%s",line+l+1);
fflush(stdout);
exit(0);
}
}
fclose(f);
printf("FAIL could not locate domain in list of domains\n");
exit(0);
}
---- END ----
Essentially, it just looks through a text file for the domain name
indicated, and if present in the file, returns "OK" and the name of a
transport. If it's not present, it returns the error "FAIL could not
locate" (which is where I presume the "couldnotlocate" is coming from in
the exim-generated error email).
Now, it appears that sometimes not all the routers are being given a
chance at the address, and that the search is ending with "virtual".
Should I be returning something besides "FAIL"?
Thanks in advance, Regards,
Jawaid
