Stevo <checkpoint@???> is thought to have said:
> I have a little problem. I have 2 SMTP servers in my DMZ - one running Exim and one running Exchange2K. They both have 10.x IP's and are the MX's for 2 different domain names - let's say abc.com and xyz.com. Receiving and sending mail to and from anywhere on the internet work great, but when I try to send mail between the domains things don't work!!

> Obviously the reason for this is that when abc.com tries to send to xyz.com the MX record for xyz.com is the 'outside' address for xyz.com and not the 10.x address. So it can't make a SMTP connection.

Use a manualroute router for the domains in question (assuming Exim 4 -- in
Exim 3 it's called something else which you can find in the docs, but then
you should be running Exim 4 now anyway)
> 2) I can't send any more mail to the xyz.com domain - it gives me the error "retry time not reached for any host" so when I do a ./exinext test@??? it tells me that the next try will be in like 6 hours time. How can I force the message to be retried at an earlier time?!
Use exim_fixdb to remove that record from the retry db or just remove the
retry db altogether. Or change the retry rules for that domain in your
config. Or if there's mail on your queue you want to force a retry on
messages already on your queue, you can do 'exim -qf' or 'exim -Rf
@example.com'
All of this is documented in TFM.
