Hi,
I have two Exim SMTP servers that in theory are setup identically,
but on one server I am recieving errors when using it as a mail relay
for a webserver. I am getting the error:
temporarily rejected RCPT <a.smith@???>: Could not complete
sender verify
That is I believe based on the mail address to which the message is
meant to be delivered, its also a domain actually hosted on the two
SMTP mail servers in question.
When relay email to the second mail server I recieve no such errors
and the mails are delivered immediately as I would want/expect.
The exim config files are identical bar the server name, I did a diff
of these. And the relaying should be allowed based on a text list of
IP addresses which I also diffed and are also identical. The code in
the exim config for this is:
> snip
hostlist relay_hosts = /usr/local/etc/exim/hosts_relay.txt
> snip
## Accept if we've explicityl allowed the IP.
accept
hosts = +relay_hosts
Buttt, I suppose if its complaining about not being able to verify the
destination email address this isn't the problem.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this, Im a bit stumped as both systems
seem to have the same config. Hosts files look ok to me, not sure what
to do next....
thanks Andy Smith.
