A problem from a newbie of long standing:
I had a slink setup on my home computer which successfully fetched
mail (with fetchmail) from a number of servers for a number of virtual
users, ie I created users on my machine for the different email
addresses. I sent mail out (with mail) through a (smaller) number of
ISPs using /etc/exim.conf to rewrite my address, eg
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] bcfrF
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] bcfrF
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] bcfrF
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] bcfrF
etc
etc
All went well until I tried to install linux 2.2.5 from a CD-rom.
I messed things up, reinstalled the whole system (slink), but then
muddled through an installation of 2.2.5 (and also apt-get update and
apt-get dist-upgrade) and the new system is more or less operative.
However, I had to redo /etc/exim.conf from memory and now, when I send
an e-mail other than through provider1, I get messages from exim
something like
host mail.provider1.com [190.190.190.190]: 550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
... Relaying denied
I think the problem lies in the routers configuration part of
exim.conf. I have something analagous to:
smarthost:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "* mail.provider1.com bydns_a;\
* smtp.provider2.com bydns_a;\
* mail.provider3.com bydns_a"
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? The thing is, it used to work.
David
