Hi,
Recently we've implemented a new server with Exim 4
We have a server running Exim 3 with following entries in the configure
file:
*****************************************************
Old Exim 3 Server
*****************************************************
# This router routes to remote hosts over SMTP using a DNS lookup. Any
domain
# that resolves to an IP address on the loopback interface (127.0.0.0/8) is
# treated as if it had no DNS entry.
to_other_servers:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_file = /usr/local/etc/exim/relay.domains
search_type = lsearch
I'm not sure if I should include the above in Ver 4 configure file.
*****************************************************
HERE IS THE PROBLEM:
*****************************************************
Emerald (Exim 4 Server) is set to send all root e-mails to:
vi /etc/aliases
root: tech@???
*****************************************************
DNS Record for incredible.com.na:
emerald# cat incredible.com.na |grep MX
*****************************************************
86400 IN MX 10 viruswall.incredible.com.na.
86400 IN MX 20 firewall.incredible.com.na.
*****************************************************
BUT mail keeps failing:
emerald# tail -n 1 /var/log/exim/rejectlog
*****************************************************
2003-06-12 11:25:00 H=localhost (emerald.incredible.com.na) [127.0.0.1]
F=<root@???> temporarily rejected RCPT
<root@???>: Could not complete sender verify
*****************************************************
BUT when doing a manual "telnet localhost 25"
the mail reaches me:
*****************************************************

*****************************************************
Exim config:
*****************************************************
emerald# cat configure | grep relay
domainlist relay_to_domains = /usr/local/etc/exim/relay
hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1
emerald# cat relay
incredible.com.na
prosys.com.na
*****************************************************
I have the following file in place
*****************************************************
emerald# cat relay.domains
incredible.com.na: gateway byname
prosys.com.na: gateway byname
*****************************************************
with the following hosts entry:
emerald# cat /etc/hosts |grep gateway
*****************************************************
10.222.200.1 gateway
*****************************************************
Any assistance would be highly appreciated.
