HI,
the router rules you gave to me were good enough for exim to find its way on
the LAN.
Performing an exim -bt ftg@??? from server and vice versa shows
that exim on both side can resolve theses names.
However i still have a connection issue since from telnet i cannot join the
server machine... even from ,localhost :
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
Here is the general part of exim4.conf:
http://www.pastebin.com/m6aaa3979
I have checked exim4 and the iptables rules, no pb!
I have performed a netstat -a | grep smtp
tcp 0 0 localhost:smtp *:* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 [::]:smtp [::]:* LISTEN
Do you have an idea?
