Hi Patrick,
Thanks for your response.
Sorry let me clarify. All my domains have MX records (external DNS Entries)
As for the manual route, thanks for that. Do I need to create a manualroute
for each domain?
As for MX records internally, this is no longer a problem. My bind files
were a little fu*$ed shall we say. I have corrected this. So I can use an MX
record now.
Does that make any more sense??
Cheers,
Tony

? you want to accept for those domains?? When then mail servers on the
Internet need to know your gateway is mail exchange for those domains. You
must have setup MX records pointing to your box. This is nothing to do with
Exim. If that is what you are referring to.
For the forwarding onto internal mail server do a manualroute router -
*one* example...
inrouter:
driver = manualroute
route_list = +relay_to_domains ip.address.of.server
transport = remote_smtp
where relay_to_domains are the domains you are accepting mail for. Look in
Manualrouter chapter of spec doc for full info. In this case you don't need
MX records if inside server is know and does not change.
