Hey folks,
I've installed Exim on my Mac OS X box, and am having a little bit of
trouble configuring it properly. Here's what I'm trying to do...
I have a domain name registered with register.com which I'll refer to as
my_new_domain.com. I have pointed the MX records to my home IP address. I
have a Netgear Cable/DSL router as my point of entry with several machines
behind it. I've opened up a few ports and pointed them at my OS X server -
SMTP :25, POP :110, and IMAP :143.
So far, I've been able to send mail from that machine, but haven't been able
to recieve anything. I'm getting some errors, both when Exim starts up, and
when it recieves a piece of mail intended for a recipient. It seems that
the delivery fails at the local level.
Can anyone give me advice based on these pieces of info, and the error logs
below? If this isn't enough to determine what's happening, I can send the
complete text of my config file... I'm not going to do that immediately, so
as not to waste bandwith :-)
Thanks in advance!
