Hi,
I have installed Exim 4.12 to act as a mail relay for a small LAN. I am able to send mail from the console of the relay server using mutt etc to remote SMTP hosts with no problem. I am unable to send mail from remote hosts on the local LAN despite my best endeavours to enable the relaying features of Exim.
What is very strange is that if I run exim -bh <ipaddress> it all verifies OK and indicates that the message would be accepted. But running exactly the same commands via a real telnet session on port 25 to the mail server I get Relay Denied... I am stumped. From what I can determine from the docs etc this should be working. DNS etc all resolves fine - I get stomped as soon as I enter a RCPT with a remote address. Telnetting and entering a RCPT with a local (on the mail server) address is fine.
The server in question is running SuSE SLES 7 on IBM S/390 hardware.
The relevant parts of my configure file are below.
primary_hostname = mail.foo.org.za
domainlist local_domains = @ : foo.org.za
domainlist relay_to_domains = :
hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : 172.16.0.0/16
begin acl
acl_check_rcpt:
accept hosts = : +relay_from_hosts
deny local_parts = ^.*[@%!/|] : ^\\.
accept local_parts = postmaster
domains = +local_domains
require verify = sender
If anyone could help I'd be most grateful.
Thanks
Nick Drouet
