I am wondering if there is somthing that is set or unset in the router section that should or should not be there.
here is the section in it's entirety.
local_domains =
And the routers section.
######################################################################
# ROUTERS CONFIGURATION #
# Specifies how remote addresses are handled #
######################################################################
# ORDER DOES MATTER #
# A remote address is passed to each in turn until it is accepted. #
######################################################################
# Remote addresses are those with a domain that does not match any item
# in the "local_domains" setting above.
# This router routes to remote hosts over SMTP using a DNS lookup with
# default options.
lookuphost:
driver = lookuphost
transport = remote_smtp
# This router routes to remote hosts over SMTP by explicit IP address,
# given as a "domain literal" in the form [nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn]. The RFCs
# require this facility, which is why it is enabled by default in Exim.
# If you want to lock it out, set forbid_domain_literals in the main
# configuration section above.
literal:
driver = ipliteral
transport = remote_smtp
hubbed_hosts:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = *.otak.com mail.otak.com byname
other_hosts:
driver = lookuphost
transport = remote_smtp
end
Any help would be apreciated.
Also as a compleate hack I could do what I was doing before;
list in my MX records the host I plan to firewall as the first MX record
It will fail and goto outbox and outbox will deliver to mail.
EG
IN MX 10 mail.otak.com.
IN MX 20 outbox.otak.com.
IN MX 30 ns.otak.com.
IN MX 40 ns.otak-k.com.
