hello everyone

I'm brand new to exim so please bear with me

I've got a web site that sends forms using python

Exim4 came with my Ubuntu install.

All I want to do is relay all mail from the web site on the local
machine to our mail server that has been configured to accept mail
from this machine and pass it on.

I"ve been reading through the documents but I must be doing something
wrong.

From the original .conf.template file the only changes I've made were
the following


domainlist local_domains = ourdomainname.co.uk


smarthost:
debug_print = "R: smarthost for $local_part@$domain"
driver = manualroute
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = remote_smtp_smarthost
route_list = * ip address of mail relay server
host_find_failed = defer
same_domain_copy_routing = yes
no_more

.endif


The error messages I'm getting when trying to send to me@???
are like this.

What is strange is that I don't know what the machine with IP address
193.63.150.187 is. It's in our domain, but it's not the host machine
or the relay server.

If anyone can help me out I'd be really grateful, it seems like such a
simple thing to do, I feel embarrassed for asking :-(
