Hi All
when i send mail to an address that doesnot exist i didnot get any
notification. when i checked the mail folder i found that i had a mail
directory created with that email id.what should be done to prevent this.
The version of exim is 4.43 below is the configuration file:
Runtime configuration file for
Exim
#
######################################################################
# This is a default configuration file which will operate correctly
in
# uncomplicated installations. Please see the manual for a complete
list
# of all the runtime configuration options that can be included in
a
# configuration file. There are many more than are mentioned here.
The
# manual is in the file doc/spec.txt in the Exim distribution as a
plain
# ASCII file. Other formats (PostScript, Texinfo, HTML, PDF) are
available
# from the Exim ftp sites. The manual is also online at the
Exim web sites.
# This file is divided into several parts, all
but the first of which are
# headed by a line starting with the word
"begin". Only those parts that
# are required need to be present. Blank
lines, and lines starting with #
# are ignored.
###########
IMPORTANT ########## IMPORTANT ########### IMPORTANT ###########
#
#
# Whenever you change Exim's configuration file, you *must* remember
to #
# HUP the Exim daemon, because it will not pick up
the new configuration #
# until you do. However, any other
Exim processes that are started, for #
# example, a
process started by an MUA in order to send a message, will
#
# see the new configuration as soon as it is in
place.
#
#
#
# You do not need to HUP the daemon for changes in auxiliary files
that #
# are referenced from this file. They are read
every time they are used. #
#
#
# It is usually a good idea to test a new configuration for
syntactic #
# correctness before installing
it (for example, by running the command #
# "exim -C
/config/file.new
-bV").

MAIN CONFIGURATION
SETTINGS
#
######################################################################
# Specify your host's canonical name here. This should normally be the
fully
# qualified "official" name of your host. If this option is not
set, the
# uname() function is called to obtain the name. In many cases
this does
# the right thing and you need not set anything explicitly.
# primary_hostname =
# The next three settings create two
lists of domains and one list of hosts.
# These lists are referred to
later in this configuration using the syntax
# +local_domains,
+relay_to_domains, and +relay_from_hosts, respectively. They
# are all
colon-separated lists:
domainlist local_domains = localhost :
domain1.com :domain2.com : domain3.com
domainlist relay_to_domains =
hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1
# Most
straightforward access control requirements can be obtained by
#
appropriate settings of the above options. In more complicated situations,
you
# may need to modify the Access Control List (ACL) which appears
later in this
# file.
# The first setting specifies your local
domains, for example:
#
# domainlist local_domains =
my.first.domain : my.second.domain
#
# You can use "@" to mean "the
name of the local host", as in the default
# setting above. This is the
name that is specified by primary_hostname,
# as specified above (or
defaulted). If you do not want to do any local
# deliveries, remove the
"@" from the setting above. If you want to accept mail
# addressed to
your host's literal IP address, for example, mail addressed to
#
"user@???", you can add "@[]" as an item in the local domains
# list. You also need to uncomment "allow_domain_literals" below. This is
not
# recommended for today's Internet.
# The second setting
specifies domains for which your host is an incoming relay.
# If you are
not doing any relaying, you should leave the list empty. However,
# if
your host is an MX backup or gateway of some kind for some domains, you
#
must set relay_to_domains to match those domains. For example:
#
#
domainlist relay_to_domains = *.myco.com : my.friend.org
#
# This will
allow any host to relay through your host to those domains.
# See the
section of the manual entitled "Control of relaying" for more
#
information.
# The third setting specifies hosts that can use your
host as an outgoing relay
# to any other host on the Internet. Such a
setting commonly refers to a
# complete local network as well as the
localhost. For example:
#
# hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 :
192.168.0.0/16
#
# The "/16" is a bit mask (CIDR notation), not a
number of hosts. Note that you
# have to include 127.0.0.1 if you want to
allow processes on your host to send
# SMTP mail by using the loopback
address. A number of MUAs use this method of
# sending mail.
#
All three of these lists may contain many different kinds of item,
including
# wildcarded names, regular expressions, and file lookups. See
the reference
# manual for details. The lists above are used in the
access control list for
# incoming messages. The name of this ACL is
defined here:
acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt
# You should not
change that setting until you understand how ACLs work.
# The
following ACL entries are used if you want to do content scanning with
#
the exiscan-acl patch. When you uncomment one of these lines, you must
also
# review the respective entries in the ACL section further below.
# acl_smtp_mime = acl_check_mime
# acl_smtp_data =
acl_check_content
# This configuration variable defines the virus
scanner that is used with
# the 'malware' ACL condition of the exiscan
acl-patch. If you do not use
# virus scanning, leave it commented. Please
read doc/exiscan-acl-readme.txt
# for a list of supported scanners.
# av_scanner = sophie:/var/run/sophie
# The following setting is
only needed if you use the 'spam' ACL condition
# of the exiscan-acl
patch. It specifies on which host and port the SpamAssassin
# "spamd"
daemon is listening. If you do not use this condition, or you use
# the
default of "127.0.0.1 783", you can omit this option.
# spamd_address
= 127.0.0.1 783
# Specify the domain you want to be added to all
unqualified addresses
# here. An unqualified address is one that does not
contain an "@" character
# followed by a domain. For example,
"caesar@???" is a fully qualified
# address, but the string
"caesar" (i.e. just a login name) is an unqualified
# email address.
Unqualified addresses are accepted only from local callers by
# default.
See the recipient_unqualified_hosts option if you want to permit
#
unqualified addresses from remote sources. If this option is not set, the
# primary_hostname value is used for qualification.
qualify_domain =
localhost
# If you want unqualified recipient addresses to be
qualified with a different
# domain to unqualified sender addresses,
specify the recipient domain here.
# If this option is not set, the
qualify_domain value is used.
# qualify_recipient =
# The
following line must be uncommented if you want Exim to recognize
#
addresses of the form "user@???" that is, with a "domain
literal"
# (an IP address) instead of a named domain. The RFCs still
require this form,
# but it makes little sense to permit mail to be sent
to specific hosts by
# their IP address in the modern Internet. This
ancient format has been used
# by those seeking to abuse hosts by using
them for unwanted relaying. If you
# really do want to support domain
literals, uncomment the following line, and
# see also the
"domain_literal" router below.
# allow_domain_literals
#
No deliveries will ever be run under the uids of these users (a colon-
#
separated list). An attempt to do so causes a panic error to be logged,
and
# the delivery to be deferred. This is a paranoic safety catch. There
is an
# even stronger safety catch in the form of the FIXED_NEVER_USERS
setting
# in the configuration for building Exim. The list of users that
it specifies
# is built into the binary, and cannot be changed. The
option below just adds
# additional users to the list. The default for
FIXED_NEVER_USERS is "root",
# but just to be absolutely sure, the
default here is also "root".
# Note that the default setting means
you cannot deliver mail addressed to root
# as if it were a normal user.
This isn't usually a problem, as most sites have
# an alias for root that
redirects such mail to a human administrator.
never_users = root
# The setting below causes Exim to do a reverse DNS lookup on all
incoming
# IP calls, in order to get the true host name. If you feel this
is too
# expensive, you can specify the networks for which a lookup is
done, or
# remove the setting entirely.
#host_lookup = *
# The settings below, which are actually the same as the defaults in
the
# code, cause Exim to make RFC 1413 (ident) callbacks for all
incoming SMTP
# calls. You can limit the hosts to which these calls are
made, and/or change
# the timeout that is used. If you set the timeout to
zero, all RFC 1413 calls
# are disabled. RFC 1413 calls are cheap and can
provide useful information
# for tracing problem messages, but some hosts
and firewalls have problems
# with them. This can result in a timeout
instead of an immediate refused
# connection, leading to delays on
starting up an SMTP session.
rfc1413_hosts = *
rfc1413_query_timeout = 30s
# By default, Exim expects all
envelope addresses to be fully qualified, that
# is, they must contain
both a local part and a domain. If you want to accept
# unqualified
addresses (just a local part) from certain hosts, you can specify
# these
hosts by setting one or both of
#
sender_unqualified_hosts =
localhost
recipient_unqualified_hosts = localhost
#
# to control
sender and recipient addresses, respectively. When this is done,
#
unqualified addresses are qualified using the settings of qualify_domain
# and/or qualify_recipient (see above).
# If you want Exim to
support the "percent hack" for certain domains,
# uncomment the following
line and provide a list of domains. The "percent
# hack" is the feature
by which mail addressed to x%y@z (where z is one of
# the domains listed)
is locally rerouted to x@y and sent on. If z is not one
# of the "percent
hack" domains, x%y is treated as an ordinary local part. This
# hack is
rarely needed nowadays; you should not enable it unless you are sure
#
that you really need it.
#
# percent_hack_domains =
#
# As well
as setting this option you will also need to remove the test
# for local
parts containing % in the ACL definition below.
# When Exim can
neither deliver a message nor return it to sender, it "freezes"
# the
delivery error message (aka "bounce message"). There are also other
#
circumstances in which messages get frozen. They will stay on the queue
for
# ever unless one of the following options is set.
# This
option unfreezes frozen bounce messages after two days, tries
# once more
to deliver them, and ignores any delivery failures.

# The following section of the ACL is concerned with local parts that
contain
# @ or % or ! or / or | or dots in unusual places.
#
# The characters other than dots are rarely found in
genuine local parts, but
# are often tried by people looking to
circumvent relaying restrictions.
# Therefore, although they are
valid in local parts, these rules lock them
# out, as a
precaution.
#
# Empty components (two dots in a row) are
not valid in RFC 2822, but Exim
# allows them because they have
been encountered. (Consider local parts
# constructed as
"firstinitial.secondinitial.familyname" when applied to
# someone
like me, who has no second initial.) However, a local part starting
# with a dot or containing /../ can cause trouble if it is used as
part of a
# file name (e.g. for a mailing list). This is also true
for local parts that
# contain slashes. A pipe symbol can also be
troublesome if the local part is
# incorporated unthinkingly into
a shell command line.
#
# Two different rules are used.
The first one is stricter, and is applied to
# messages that are
addressed to one of the local domains handled by this

# and vertical bars in their local parts. It blocks local parts that
begin
# with a dot, slash, or vertical bar, but allows these
characters within the
# local part. However, the sequence /../ is
barred. The use of @ % and ! is

motivation here is to prevent your users (or

begin routers
# This router routes to remote hosts over SMTP by
explicit IP address,
# when an email address is given in "domain literal"
form, for example,
# <user@???>. The RFCs require this
facility. However, it is
# little-known these days, and has been
exploited by evil people seeking
# to abuse SMTP relays. Consequently it
is commented out in the default
# configuration. If you uncomment this
router, you also need to uncomment

Exim can recognize the syntax of
# domain literal addresses.

#
This router routes addresses that are not in local domains by doing a DNS
# lookup on the domain name. Any domain that resolves to 0.0.0.0 or to a
# loopback interface address (127.0.0.0/8) is treated as if it had no DNS
# entry. Note that 0.0.0.0 is the same as 0.0.0.0/32, which is commonly
treated
# as the local host inside the network stack. It is not
0.0.0.0/0, the default
# route. If the DNS lookup fails, no further
routers are tried because of
# the no_more setting, and consequently the
address is unrouteable.

# The remaining routers handle addresses in the local domain(s).
# This router handles aliasing using a linearly searched alias file with
the
# name SYSTEM_ALIASES_FILE. When this configuration is installed
automatically,
# the name gets inserted into this file from whatever is
set in Exim's
# build-time configuration. The default path is the
traditional /etc/aliases.
# If you install this configuration by hand,
you need to specify the correct
# path in the "data" setting below.
#
##### NB You must ensure that the alias file exists. It used to
be the case
##### NB that every Unix had that file, because it was
the Sendmail default.
##### NB These days, there are systems that
don't have it. Your aliases
##### NB file should at least contain
an alias for "postmaster".

# If any of your aliases expand to pipes
or files, you will need to set
# up a user and a group for these
deliveries to run under. You can do
# this by uncommenting the "user"
option below (changing the user name
# as appropriate) and adding a
"group" option if necessary. Alternatively, you

# If you want this router to treat local parts
