Dear All,

I have spoken to my service provider and searched the archives in vain,
so I hope someone on the list has the answer.

I'm using exim-3.22 with FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE over a dial-up connection
to varsity. I'm behind the varsity firewall and have to use
`smtphost.canterbury.ac.nz' to make a successful connection to
external hosts. This works well with most hosts but with some --- and
they are important to me --- it does not. The following logs should
show the problem:

2001-11-14 12:34:29 163n4X-0000OU-00 <= rbm49@??? \
U=rbm49 P=local S=857 id=20011114123429.A1403@???
2001-11-14 12:35:04 163n4X-0000OU-00 mail.h-net.msu.edu [35.8.2.173]: \
Connection refused
2001-11-14 12:35:04 163n4X-0000OU-00 == help@??? \
T=remote_smtp defer (61): Connection refused

And from then on a connection is always refused.

This is what usually happens with a successful connection:

2001-11-14 12:38:58 163n8s-0000PR-00 <= rbm49@??? \
U=rbm49 P=local S=1445 id=20011114123857.B1403@???
2001-11-14 12:39:27 163n8s-0000PR-00 smtp.jadedirect.com [143.96.9.53]: \
Connection refused
2001-11-14 12:39:27 163n8s-0000PR-00 smtp2.jadedirect.com [143.96.9.29]: \
Connection refused
2001-11-14 12:39:28 163n8s-0000PR-00 => jrobertson@??? \
R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp H=smtphost.canterbury.ac.nz [132.181.30.3]
2001-11-14 12:39:28 163n8s-0000PR-00 Completed


What adjustments should I make to the `configure' file to send all my
remote mail directly to `smtphost.canterbury.ac.nz'? I have tried the
following but without luck:

remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
hosts = smtphost.canterbury.ac.nz
fallback_hosts = smtphost.canterbury.ac.nz

smart_route:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * smtphost.canterbury.ac.nz bydns_a


smarthost:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "* smtphost.canterbury.ac.nz bydns_a"



Any help would be most gratefully received.

Many regards,

Richard Mahoney
