I have a situation in which the exim system must punt most incoming mail
to a 'smartuser' director. The system to which mail is punted is an AS/400
that is not known to the Internet.
Because it's an internal system, I cannot identify the AS/400 by name in
the local domain's DNS. It's in /etc/hosts, so it can be telnetted by
name. but if I try to configure exim's smartuser director to forward to
it using the following director setup:
smartuser:
driver = smartuser
new_address = ${local_part}@???
exim (V2.0) bounces messages saying that "as400.local.domain" is an
unroutable domain.
If I use an explicit IP address:
smartuser:
driver = smartuser
new_address = ${local_part}@???
exim delivers the mail, but the AS/400 complains that 172.25.5.3 is not a
valid hostname.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
