This is my first time emailing to the list. I have searched around for
solutions. I apologize if this does not follow any standard procedures.
Here is my configuration:
Exim4
Cygwin
Windows XP
AT&T DSL (SBC)
For several months I had my mail server working fine. Near the end of last
week I discovered that Exim was no longer receiving email but could still
send mail out. I don't recall changing any configuration settings which
would leads me to believe it is something out of my hands, but I want to try
to narrow down where the connection is broken and go from there.
My exim_main.log traditionally would update any time an email received.
Currently, nothing is being appended to that or any other log when I try to
send an email to the server. I am hosting a few domains: karuza.com,
list2text.com, and bhhsdrumline.com which can all still be viewed with
regards to Apache and HTTP so I don't think it is a domain direction
problem.
I spoke with AT&T support chat three times yesterday. They have no
understanding of mail servers and Exim. They are used to problems with
Outlook and webmail, so getting them to help is an issue but I am thinking
it's either something they did without notifying me or somehow services are
not set up right on my server now.
I have exim using SMTP on port 25 to send mail. I have inetd set up to
listen on pop and imap ports as per the tutorial here:
http://pigtail.net/LRP/exim/exim-cygwin.html
For the most part, my server is set up to forward emails received for the
domain names to other email services like gmail. Some of it is used to take
the email and use it in a script and generate response to users of
list2text.
My friend suggested I try sending an email from exim to local host so I
attempted the following (Karuza is the admin user account):
echo -e 'Subject: Testr\nOi' | exim Karuza@127.0.0.1,Karuza@localhost
which resulted in:

If you would like excerpts of my exim.conf or anything to help out please
let me know and thanks in advance for your help.
