I just this morning switched on Exim on our main mail server.
Every time I try and send a message from my PC, I get...
>1998-01-27 08:13:17 refused relay (host reject) to
<Ian.Clayton@???> >from <bbowler@???>
H=(balchlab3.bigelow.org) [198.116.72.69]
in mainlog and in rejectlog. Why?
The IP address of the PC is 198.116.72.69. That address in not registered
in DNS, but being W95 identifies itself as balchlab3.bigelow.org. My local
domain is bigelow.org and 198.116.72. is the class C address range that I'm
responsible for.
My configuration file is essentially an "out of the box" file with the only
modifications being those related to my mail servers nodenames and to set
locally_caseless to false.
So, how do I make it work so that anyone with an IP address in my class C
can send using our mail server? Will
sender_net_accept_relay 198.116.72.0/24
do the trick?
