Subject: [exim] mail forwarding
Hi there,

someone mistakenly added a new mx entry to our australian domain when
adding it to our london ones. It propagated and started sending mail to
our london exim server which has since been rejecting the mails (relay
not permitted) to readingroom.com.au

I put the following in the exim config file in attempt to get the london
server to forward on these mails to their correct destination


# route for AUS
aus_route:
        driver = manualroute
        domains = readingroom.com.au
        transport = remote_smtp
        route_list = readingroom.com.au 61.9.200.131


the ip address above is the public ip of the australian mail server.
I've also tried some variations of the above (excluding the domains
line, and using the aus mail server's name and adding 'bydns' on the end
of the route_list line) but after restarting exim I get the same relay
not permitted message.

I understand this is likely to mean I've not made our london server
aware that it is allowed to relay on readingroom.com.au mail but I can't
figure out where this should go. I've also googled around and found
examples that are just like the one above (although perhaps I've missed
something)...

Thanks in advance!

John
