Hello,
I have two local machines and I want to send a mail from one to the other (with same local user)
I tried with telnet it works fine (see below)
but with exim, I get "unroutable address" in the log
echo "body" | mail -s "subject" username@remote_host.localhost<
mailto:username@remote_host.localhost>
2016-07-19 10:18:55 1bPQEx-0000lU-UT ** username@ remote_host.localhost: Unrouteable address
echo "body" | mail -s "subject" username@remote_host
2016-07-19 10:18:55 1bPQEx-0000lU-UT ** username@ remote_host: Unrouteable address
So I think exim does not check the /etc/hosts file cos all my hosts are defined there
How can I solve this ?
telnet remote_host 25
Trying ***.***.***.***...
Connected to remote_host.localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
