hi!

got a small problem with exim.

Today when sitting on a remote network, accessing my smtp server through
mozilla and AUTH-smtp, i realized that the mail I was sending was not
comming to the recipient....

the log says:
2003-05-15 09:42:07 no host name found for IP address 129.240.128.118

some highligts from my config:

acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt

# You should not change that setting until you understand how ACLs work.

auth_advertise_hosts = !+relay_from_hosts
tls_advertise_hosts= !+relay_from_hosts
tls_certificate=/etc/exim/cert
tls_privatekey=/etc/exim/key
#tls_verify_hosts= *


begin authenticators

plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_condition = "${if pam{$2:$3}{1}{0}}"
server_set_id = $2

login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
server_condition = "${if pam{$1:$2}{1}{0}}"
server_set_id = $1



any idea why the mail was not sent? Mozilla should ask for only auth smtp
through tls....


regards
Asbjørn
