Dear exim-users,
I am a novice user of MTA software and exim in particular and am dazzled by all the terminology but seem to get on quite well with exim now, at least for my needs. I still have one persisting problem however.
I use exim on my linuxbox (debian 3.0r1) in conjuction with MS Outlook clients connected through UW-imap, and mailscanner equipped with f-prot, remote addresses are sent to a smarthost as I am intermittently connected to the internet. My local network is connected to a linux softwarerouter with ISDN dail on demand (DOD) configured on it. The problem is that every time a message to a remote address is sent from an outlook client via IMAP to exim for routing to a smarthost DOD is invoked despite the setting: queue_remote_domains = *. The message is queued properly on the outgoing queue awaiting a queue-runner so the invocation of DOD is useless and undesireable. I am well aware of exim not being designed to work on intermittently connected hosts but still could anyone explain me what happens ((DNS) lookups? (why?)), and tell me how to stop this behaviour. I have already tried setting the primary_hostname and gethostbyname options, however I dont quite understand these settings. Exim is set up according to the mailscanner manual with two config files (exim.conf, with queue_only and deferred directing and routing, and exim_outgoing.conf for delivering) as provided below along with mailscanner.conf.

# Minimum acceptable code stability status -- if we come across code
# that's not at least as stable as this, we barf.
# This is currently only used to check that you don't end up using untested
# virus scanner support code without realising it.
# Levels used are:
# none - there may not even be any code.
# unsupported - code may be completely untested, a contributed dirty hack,
# anything, really.
# alpha - code is pretty well untested. Don't assume it will work.
# beta - code is tested a bit. It should work.
# supported - code *should* be reliable.
#
# Don't even *think* about setting this to anything other than "beta" or
# "supported" on a system that receives real mail until you have tested it
# yourself and are happy that it is all working as you expect it to.
# Don't set it to anything other than "supported" on a system that could
# ever receive important mail.
