Hi,
on an old Debian system an Exim3 works quite fine here. This
is another attempt to switch to Exim4. My mails still refuse
to leave the local network. I was working on it for several
hours; I'm almost knocked off now.
My test message comes from a host other than the gateway and
it contains a line as:
"From: <info@???>"
I analyzed the temporary files /var/spool/exim/input/*-H on
the gateway and detected the following differences:
Line 2, Exim 3:
<info@???>
Line 2, Exim 4:
<user@???>
Last Lines, Exim 3:
051* Sender: <user@???>
035S Sender: <info@???>
058* X-rewrote-sender: user@???
Last Line, Exim 4:
051* Sender: <user@???>
I guess this has something to do with address rewriting but
when looking at the exim.conf both of them contain the line
*@* $header_from: Fs
in the rewrite area. I tried loads of slight modifications
of this, too. Asking for a -d+all option I yield an error
message saying the rewriting failed because of the
$header_from variable was empty.
I'm using Gentoo now; USE flags: X ipv6 pam perl ssl tcpd.
Could this be so difficult? Thanks for any hints in advance.
