I'm trying to set up an autoreply message to let people know what a domain I
have set up is now obsolete. It all seems to be working fine, except for
one problem -- I get a "relaying mail to X is not allowed" error when Exim
tries to send the message. (The log entires for this are listed below.)
My sever is on a DSL connection with a non-static IP, and all such IPs for
my ISP are on RBL. To get around this, I have exim send mail through my
ISP's SMTP server, using the folowing entry in my routers configuration:
send_to_gateway:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "* smtp1.sympatico.ca byname"
________________________________________________________________________
As for the autoreply message configuration, the director is:
obsolete:
driver = smartuser
condition = ${if eq{$sender_address}{}{no}{yes}}
domains = ladan.2y.net
transport = obsolete_reply
________________________________________________________________________
...and the transport is:
obsolete_reply:
driver = autoreply
from = postmaster@???
reply_to = postmaster@???
to = $sender_address
bcc = postmaster@???
subject = "DELIVERY ERROR: use ladan.ca, not ladan.2y.net"
file = /usr/exim/obsolete.ladan.2y.net
return_message
user = exim

If anyone knows how I should modify the configuration to not trigger this
anti-relaying mechanism, I'd really appreciate some advice...
Thanks,
James.
