Hi,
Thanks for reading this message.
I'm working on a new setup of a system, the aim is to always accept
email from the localhost.
Even when the network is down, e-mail has to be queued for later delivery.
Security is not a concern as the machine will be behind a firewall and
doesn't accept external connections
When I pull the network cable from the mail server and try to get a
message into the queue exim
gives the following error; " 451 Temporary local problem "
But it is possible to put a mail on the queue like this :
cat filename | exim -f user@??? user@???
So it should be possible as it seems to be functioning
Apparently it does a DNS lookup so:
I tried to mail to an IP address like user@??? no success
I tried to put the hostname.domain name of the receiving mail server in
the (windows) hostfile: no success
So should I run a named to answer the query ?
or
Do you know what to change in the config to have exim accept mail the
normal way in a network down situation?.
All suggestions are welcome
Kind regards,
Leon Berkers
