hi,
exim 4.43
I have a test system that I am trying to transfer some users to. The
test system seems to work but I am having trouble with the routing to
local pop3 mail boxes and seem to have created a mail loop.
To migrate the users, I edited the aliases file in the primary MX so
that the it looks like this:
user: user@???
The mail is then routed to the server2 but instead of delivering it
locally it does a dns lookup and sends in back in the form
user@???; hence the mail loops.
These are the routers, pretty default and I don't understand my it is
doing a lookup when ! +local_domains is specified
dnslookup:
driver = dnslookup
domains = !+local_domains
transport = remote_smtp
ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
no_more
system_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_fail
allow_defer
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
user = $local_part
file_transport = address_file
# pipe_transport = address_pipe
And some ouput from exim -d bt:
$ exim -d -bt dermot@???
mydomain.co.uk in "@:local.domains"? no (end of list)
mydomain.co.uk in "!+local_domains"? yes (end of list)
calling dnslookup router
dnslookup router called for dermot@???
domain = sciencephoto.co.uk
DNS lookup of mydomain.co.uk (MX) succeeded
