Hello:
I'm setting up a mail gateway for a client, like this:
+----------+ +---------+ +--------+
| | SMTP In | | SMTP In | |
| The |--------->| Exim on |--------->| Some |
| Internet | | A Linux | | Random |
| at |<---------| Box w/ |<---------| SMTP |
| large | SMTP Out | IP MASQ | SMTP Out | Server |
| | | | | |
+----------+ +---------+ +--------+
I don't want to assume a DNS server on the private LAN or the gateway,
and I want to use Exim as a smarthost for the SMTP server on the
private LAN.
I installed Exim 3.12 from Debian 2.2. Then, following hints from the
FAQ, I edited exim.conf to read:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# exim.conf
# main
qualify_domain = bhauptman.com
local_domains = *.bhauptman.com:bhauptman.com
never_users = root
host_accept_relay = localhost:10.0.0.0/8
smtp_verify = true
smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 100
freeze_tell_mailmaster = true
received_header_text = "Received: \
${if def:sender_rcvhost {from ${sender_rcvhost}\n\t}\
{${if def:sender_ident {from ${sender_ident} }}\
${if def:sender_helo_name {(helo=${sender_helo_name})\n\t}}}}\
by ${primary_hostname} \
${if def:received_protocol {with ${received_protocol}}} \
(Exim ${version_number} #${compile_number} (Debian))\n\t\
id ${message_id}\
${if def:received_for {\n\tfor <$received_for>}}"
smtp_banner = ""
# transports
remote_smtp:
driver=smtp
end
# directors
end
# routers
outgoing:
driver = lookuphost
transport = remote_smtp
no_more
self = fail_soft
incoming:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "* 10.0.0.2 byname"
end
# retry
* * F,2h,15m; G,16h,2h,1.5; F,4d,8h
end
# no rewriting rules
----------------------------------------------------------------------
However, when I telnet to port 25 on the gateway, and try sending a
message, I get an immediate response:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. The following address(es) failed:
dan@???:
unknown local-part "dan" in domain "bhauptman.com"
------ This is a copy of the message, including all the headers. ------
Return-path: <ceverett@???>
Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1])

blah.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Obviously, it's checking to see if there's a user named "dan" on the
gateway, and then crapping out when it finds none. Well, I can't find
anything that relates to that in the manual, so now I need help from the
exim-masters on exim-users.
Thanks
Christopher Everett
