Have you updated your exim configuration to send as a valid DNS resolvable host name, as well as set up DNS for that host name? I think that is your problem, here. I have no problems sending email from quite a few hosts, using a similar path as you describe, but I have configured the local MTA on each box to send as valid DNS resolvable names: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo grep -r kokopelli /etc/exim4/ /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf:dc_readhost='kokopelli.pbandjelly.org' /etc/exim4/email-addresses:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ host kokopelli.pbandjelly.org kokopelli.pbandjelly.org is an alias for kokopelli.homeunix.org. kokopelli.homeunix.org has address 10.9.109.79 The above is my laptop. Hope that helps! -- Kind Regards, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
