Hi folks,
Since two weeks I'm using exim3 (Debian package). I know that this is
a little bit old, but I want to use the packages Debian offers me and
so I can't use exim4.
Last week I got the message from ORDB that my server is an open relay.
I found out that exim accepts addresses like this one:
"foreign-user@???
After receiving this mail, exim "unpacks" the foreign address and
forwards the email to foreign-user@???
My first thought was that I forgot to deny this by setting a variable,
but after looking at the documentation at exim.org, searching the web
and asking a debian forum I'm not sure about this. Nobody and nothing
could help me, so I hope you can.
My current exim.conf (main part):
qualify_domain = criena.net
# qualify_recipient =
local_domains = localhost:rechnername.domain.com
local_domains_include_host = true
local_domains_include_host_literals = false
relay_domains = domain.com:domain2.com
#relay_domains_include_local_mx = true
#never_users = root
host_lookup = *
headers_check_syntax = true
rbl_domains = rbl.mail-abuse.org/reject :
dialups.mail-abuse.org/warn
host_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1 : ::::1 : 192.168.1.5/32
#host_auth_accept_relay = *
# percent_hack_domains=*
trusted_users = mail
smtp_verify = false
gecos_pattern = ^([^,:]*)
gecos_name = $1
smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 100
freeze_tell_mailmaster = true
received_header_text = "Received: \
${if def:sender_rcvhost {from ${sender_rcvhost}\n\t}\
{${if def:sender_ident {from ${sender_ident} }}\
${if def:sender_helo_name {(helo=${sender_helo_name})\n\t}}}}\
by ${primary_hostname} \
${if def:received_protocol {with ${received_protocol}}} \
(Exim ${version_number} #${compile_number} (Debian))\n\t\
id ${message_id}\
${if def:received_for {\n\tfor <$received_for>}}"
receiver_try_verify = true
#accept_8bitmime = true
# This will cause it to accept mail only from the local interface
#local_interfaces = 127.0.0.1
#queue_list_requires_admin = false
forbid_domain_literals = true
receiver_verify = true
end
I hope anyone can help me with this problem. If I can't find a
solution I have to change to postfix, but I hate this mailer. :-( So
please have pity with me.
