Autor: Tsuyoshi Niwa Fecha: A: exim-users Asunto: [Exim] remote_smtp send problem unless comment out never_users=root
Hi,
I was using Exim-4.10 on Red Hat Linux 7.2 (kernel-2.4.7) just fine
until I recompiled it.
After recompiling, sending non-local email address is denied and the
mainlog says
"2003-07-09 22:15:18 19aQxe-0000xZ-00 == blah@??? R=dnslookup
T=remote_smtp defer (-29): User 0 set for remote_smtp transport is on
the never_users list"
This can be easily worked around by commenting out "never_users =
root", but I know that's a terrible solution.
So, I went back to the source directory, checked Local/Makefile and see
"EXIM_USER=exim"
I thought this should be fine, so I tried compiling again by doing as
follows.
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop
#cd /source-dir-of-exim/
#make
#make install
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail start
The service starts, but still, remote_smtp fails.
I read on articles and posting about 'never_users' and tried to change
the owner of the following files to a user 'exim'.
/usr/exim/configure
/var/spool/exim/*
This didn't work either. Can you guys give me what I am missing? Thanks
in advance.
