helo all,
Where does exim look to resolve the local interface addresses?
On IRIX boxes, exim-2.00 is getting confused:
| lookup yielded: $domain byname
| original hostlist=$domain options=byname
| expanded hostlist="physig3.ph.kcl.ac.uk" options=byname
| Actual local interface address is 255.255.255.255 <- fishy
| Actual local interface address is 255.255.255.255 <- fishy
| Actual local interface address is 0.0.0.0 <- fishy
| local host found for non-MX address
| fully qualified name = physig3.ph.kcl.ac.uk
| physig3.ph.kcl.ac.uk 255.255.255.255 -1
where as the 'ifconfig' command outputs the following values for the three
interfaces (including loopback):
| ec0: flags=c63<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,FILTMULTI,MULTICAST>
| inet 192.168.2.75 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
|
| xpi0: flags=1863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST,CKSUM>
| inet 192.168.1.75 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
|
| lo0: flags=1849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,CKSUM>
| inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
contrast the Linux/exim-1.92 combo, which gives, correctly,
| Actual local interface address is 127.0.0.1
| Actual local interface address is 192.168.2.168
with
| lo inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
| eth0 inet addr:192.168.2.168 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
any ideas?
