Subject: [Exim] Testing mail routing
Hello all,

I just had something come up at work, and I was wondering if people had
already solved it. My boss is a sendmail guy, and I am mostly an exim
person, but willing to use what is handy. On one of our recent
installs, I have convinced him to use exim4, so that we can do recipent
callouts and use exiscan. Then we wanted to try mail routing from
outside (DNS had not yet propogated).

With sendmail, you can use user%foo.com@???, to see if
real.host.com will accept and relay for foo.com. Exim4 of course
rejects this as an invalid localpart (no argument here - it's not
unreasonable). Aside from running exim -bh or -bhc on the local
machine, any other way of testing this kind of routing? It would be
convenient to be able to do this kind of testing from outside.

This is Debian woody with ametzler's exim4 backports, if it matters.

TIA,
--
