[Exim] Re: Mail relay problems

Andy,

You say you have this commented out in your config file:

> #host_accept_relay = localhost:212.1.128.0/19:mysql;MYSQL_RELAY
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That doesn't look like Exim error messages, incidentally.

The debug output you sent clearly contains a lookup attempt in a MySQL
database:

> SMTP<< RCPT TO: <andy.coy@???>
> search_open: mysql "NULL"
> search_find: file="NULL"
> key="SELECT DISTINCT domain FROM mail WHERE domain='virgin.net'"
> partial=-1
> LRU list:
> internal_search_find: file="NULL"
> type=mysql key="SELECT DISTINCT domain FROM mail WHERE
> domain='virgin.net'"
> database lookup required for SELECT DISTINCT domain FROM mail WHERE
> domain='virgin.net'
> MYSQL query: SELECT DISTINCT domain FROM mail WHERE domain='virgin.net'
> MYSQL new connection: host=localhost port=3306 database=**** user=*****
> password=*****
> MYSQL: no data found
> lookup failed

... which fails. Could this be your problem?

Did you remember to restart Exim after you edited exim.conf?
