Hi Heiko & list,

Thanks for the tip.

This tells me:
no_disable_ipv6

which I guess is not good :(

However, I did a few things:
- I had both a /etc/exim4/conf.d directory (split config) and a
exim4.conf.template (unique file). I removed the conf.d directory to be
sure it'd read the unique config file.

- The config file is named 'exim4.conf.template'. Is that really
correct? In doubt, I duplicated it to exim4.conf.

+ I have a update-exim4.conf.conf file.

Now, restarting exim4 I have in the logs:

2014-04-14 22:43:43 exim 4.80 daemon started: pid=32736, -q30m,
listening for SMTP on port 25 (IPv4)
2014-04-14 22:43:43 Start queue run: pid=32741

that's good.

Then I do a exim -qff and the logs say:

2014-04-14 22:44:45 Start queue run: pid=300 -qff
2014-04-14 22:44:45 1WZ4qE-0005vb-JJ Unfrozen by forced delivery
2014-04-14 22:44:45 1WZ4qE-0005vb-JJ ** MYEMAIL@???: Unrouteable
address
2014-04-14 22:44:45 1WZ4qE-0005vb-JJ Frozen (delivery error message)

So, this looks different, doesn'it it? Why is it "unrouteable" ?

Regards

Axelle
