Alright, I did some troubleshooting and discovered a few things.
I removed the mysql query from the local domains list and reverted
back to my old flat file list, and now sending to the outside world
is once again possible, which tells me that exim thought *all* domains
were local before.... which means the query failed I guess....
local_domains = boomboom.hitmenmusic.com :\
mysql;SELECT domain_name FROM domain
this the query I was using for local domains, and since it screwed up
here i guess the samething screwed later in my conf file as well.
e.g.
domains = "! mysql;SELECT domain_name FROM domain : *"
So if anyone knows what I should change this query, please tell
me :)
I also noticed on the mail list archive people using this:
local_domains = mysql;SELECT domain FROM domains
WHERE domain = '$key'
Now this doesn't make sense to me, but I am a newbie to exim
so any clarification is appreciated...
