I'm trying to configure exim (3.32-2.deb) on a debian client, which
receives mail via fetchmail and sends all mail to a smarthost (a router
running qmail).
Whenever the router is online, everything works fine - I can send both
local and remote mails, A-OK.
When the router is offline, sending mails from mutt hangs mutt for a few
seconds 'Sending email....', running exim -qff also pauses a few
seconds.
Using -d11 tells me nothing about what dns it's trying to lookup.
Given the facts that
my internet-domainname = rivierenland xs4all nl
my clients domainname middle.of.nowhere
my smarthost gates.of.nowhere
and this egrep -v "^#|^$" /etc/exim/exim.conf (see below), can anybody
tell me
- what exim is trying to look up?
- and how I can switch it off?
I tried using 'dns_retry = 0' but it's sparsely documented and doesn't
make any difference. I read all the docs, browsed the web, searched the
archives, but I couldn't find anything describing this timeout.
my /etc/exim/exim.conf:
dns_retry = 0
qualify_domain = rivierenland.xs4all.nl
qualify_recipient = middle.of.nowhere
local_domains = localhost:middle.of.nowhere
local_domains_include_host = true
local_domains_include_host_literals = true
never_users = root

gecos_name = $1
smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 100
freeze_tell_mailmaster = true
received_header_text = "Received: \

end
