helo folks,
hoping someone can tell me where the problem is:
-i'm running exim on a multi-homed host ('hostA'), one home attached to a
private (192.168) network. at present i'm testing sending mail into the private network.
-there is a 'testmail' account on the multi-homed host, and an associated entry in the '/etc/aliases' which forwards the mail to a host sitting on the private network ('hostB').
-from hostA, I can 'mail testmail' a message which is transported fine to hostB.
-from outside hostA, the message is bounced with a 'unrouteable mail domain' error message.
-relevent information(?): the external nameserver is not at present aware of the existence of hostB. however it is listed in the 'etc/hosts' file: i can ping and send mail *from* hostA; it's just getting exim on hostA to relay which is the problem.
many thanks,
James Orwell
