Subject: [Exim] problem with Exim version 4.12
We have been running happily Exim version 2.12 (we know it is old, but
it works)
I do the following in the 2.12 version:
$ exim -bt tigeri
Address rewritten as: tigeri@???
tigeri@???
deliver to tigeri@???
router = route_internal_bydns, transport = internal_smtp
host ncs-maila.wmin.ac.uk [161.74.160.176] MX=3
host ncs-mailb.wmin.ac.uk [161.74.160.177] MX=3

I have made very little modification of the Exim config file for
version 4.12, but when I do the same on 4.12 I get:
exim@garuda> exim -bt tigeri
LOG: address_rewrite MAIN
"tigeri@???" rewritten as
"tigeri@???" by rule 3
LOG: address_rewrite MAIN
"tigeri@???" rewritten as
"tigeri@???" by rule 8
LOG: address_rewrite MAIN
"tigeri@???" rewritten as "tigeri@???"
by rule 41
Address rewritten as: tigeri@???
tigeri@???
router = route_internal_bydns, transport = internal_smtp
host intranet.wmin.ac.uk [161.74.55.209]

It looks as though it is not going to the right place - no mention of
MX records etc.

Another example is in the old one:
$ exim -bt xxx@???
xxx@???
deliver to xxx@???
router = route_internal_bydns, transport = internal_smtp
host psi1.psi.org.uk [161.74.20.224] MX=3

However in the new one:
exim@garuda> exim -bt xxx@???
xxx@??? cannot be resolved at this time:
lookup of host "psi.org.uk" failed in route_internal_bydns router
exim@garuda>

In Exim 4.12 route_internal_bydns is as follows:
route_internal_bydns:
  driver = manualroute
  domains = ! +local_domains
  route_list = *.wmin.ac.uk $domain bydns ; \
    *.westminster.ac.uk $domain bydns ; \
    psi.org.uk $domain bydns
  self = reroute: mtahost.wmin.ac.uk
  transport = internal_smtp
  # To deal with "root@jaguar" where MX record points to us


Is there something in 2.xx that does not work in 4.xx any more as far
as this kind of routing is concerned?

Many thanks
