Subject: [Exim] problem with exim 3.16 and SMTP vrfy
It seems that exim gets unhappy when I do a vrfy with a domain that's in
localdomains but in an external file.

I have:
local_domains = "valinux.com: \
                lsearch;/etc/mail/virtualdomainlist: \
                partial-lsearch;/etc/mail/othervadomains: \
                localhost:kenny.su.valinux.com"


as well as (in the rewriting section):
*@partial-lsearch;/etc/mail/othervadomains      $1@???  hE


kenny:~# telnet kenny smtp
Trying 10.1.3.166...
Connected to kenny.su.valinux.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.valinux.com ESMTP Exim 3.16 #1 Tue, 22 Aug 2000 17:07:19 -0700 - VA mm1
expn merlin@???
250 <merlin@???>
expn merlin@??? (in /etc/mail/othervadomains)
Connection closed by foreign host.

the logs show nothing...

I tried to run:
exim -d10 -bd -oX 27

and then:
kenny:~# telnet kenny 27
Trying 10.1.3.166...
Connected to kenny.su.valinux.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.valinux.com ESMTP Exim 3.16 #1 Tue, 22 Aug 2000 17:09:15 -0700 - VA mm1
vrfy merlin@???
250 <merlin@???> is deliverable
vrfy merlin@???
250 <merlin@???> is deliverable
vrfy test@???
252 <test@???> contains a non-local domain (normal, it gets rewritten)
quit
221 mail.valinux.com closing connection
Connection closed by foreign host.

Any clue?
What info would you need?
