After moving my Exim server from one co-location facility to another. I
began to see the following errors. Any ideas as to what they are?
[root@frits root]# cat /var/log/exim_mainlog | grep XXX | more
2002-01-10 18:08:27 SMTP syntax error in "XXXX invincible.cnchost.com
H=invincible.concentric.net [207.155.248.15.36317]: unrecognized command
2002-01-10 18:08:30 SMTP syntax error in "XXXX irresistable.cnchost.com"
H=irresistable.cnchost.com [207.155.248.34.19906]: unrecognized command
<cut>
Also, after bringing the server back up I can't seem to get the server
to authenticate external users unless I specifiy auth_hosts = *. The
way I have it configured now is really terribe, I have just set
host_accept_relay = *. Before the reboot I had host_accept_relay set to
localhost and auth_host_accept_relay = *. So, my external users that
had email accounts on the machine could relay if they authenticated.
External users that had no email accounts could only relay to the local
domains, and localhost could send regardless of authentication.
I have attached a copy of the pertinent sections of my configure file.
One last note, the authentication configuration seems to work since if I
set auth_hosts = * I do authenticate and relay. Thanks for any help.
