Exim v4 on Solaris v9.
I have a MX record on Server1 for "ourdomain.ac.uk" with a DNS alias of
mailserver.ourdomain.ac.uk and poprelay.ourdomain.ac.uk, and I also have
a generic PopServer with an DNS alias of pophost.ourdomain.ac.uk
I'm trying to get all incoming email addressed to
"xyz@???" to go to the poprelay server (which holds
the 'ourdomain' MX), and then routed/relayed to the pophost server (but
keeping the "To:" address unchanged) but any email passed to 'here' or
'there' WILL get the hostname stripped out before being routed/relayed.
(Server1 does all the virus-scanning/spam-filtering before passing on to
various other imap/pop hosts)
In Server1 exim configure,
I have:
-------------------
domainlist local_domains = ourdomain.ac.uk
domainlist relay_to_domains = ourdomain.ac.uk : here.ourdomain.ac.uk :
there.ourdomain.ac.uk : pophost.ourdomain.ac.uk
begin routers
send to here:
driver = manualroute
domains = here.ourdomain.ac.uk
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * here.ourdomain.ac.uk
send to there:
driver = manualroute
domains = there.ourdomain.ac.uk
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * there.ourdomain.ac.uk
send_to_pop:
driver = manualroute
domains = poprelay.ourdomain.ac.uk
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * pophost.ourdomain.ac.uk
begin rewrite
*@poprelay.ourdomain.ac.uk $1@??? q
*@*.ourdomain.ac.uk $1@??? frsF
------------------------
and for any email sent from outside the domain, I'm getting an error in
the exim_mainlog of :
"temporarily rejected RCPT <xyz@???>: remote host
is the local host"
I'd be grateful for any advice on how to resolve this. do I need a 2nd
MX record for "poprelay.ourdomain.ac.uk" ?
Thanks in advance,
P.S.
I've also tried a router config rule of:
poproute:
driver = manualroute
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = poprelay.ourdomain.ac.uk pophost.ourdomain.ac.uk
