Hi,
I'm just having a hard time understanding the Exim configuration. I'm now
getting the following error:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
cates58@???
SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<cates58@???>:
host 213.133.104.6 [213.133.104.6]: 553 sorry, that domain isn't allowed
to be relayed thru this MTA (#5.7.1)
if I understand correctly this is because the 'smarthost' rejected it? But
is the 'smarthost' rejecting because of my Exim MTA, or because of the 'RCPT
TO:'? Actually, why is it even trying to relay to the 'smarthost'? This is
a message generated from a PHP script (running of course on my local Apache
web server), which I have configured to use the local mail server (Exim),
but for some reason Exim wants to pass it on the the 'smarthost' (even
though the sender is a local_part, as far as I can tell). The header of the
message follows:
------ This is a copy of the message, including all the headers. ------
Return-path: <www-data@???>

If the sender is 'www-data@???' shouldn't Exim deliver directly,
instead of passing the message on to the 'smarthost' - that's the way I
thought I had Exim configured. Or, could this be a DNS/MX Record
configuration issue?
I'm really quite confused, and any help will be greatly appreciated! I've
been reading through the documentation including the PDF I downloaded, but
it's just not coming to me.
Thanks much!
Robert
