Hello, I have a centos 6 server that runs exim for SMTP and dovecot for pop/imap to my clients. Very recently and for unknown reasons, inbound SMTP to this server ([email protected]) is, instead of being delivered to a local mailbox (/var/spool/mail/user), is now attempted to be delivered out to the internet via smtp:
exim -bt [email protected] [email protected] router = dnslookup, transport = remote_smtp host example.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] host example.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] I have no config changes I know about, I have even went back to old backups to verify /etc/exim/exim.conf has remained untouched and this is so. I can not find any other config or system change and am at a complete loss to understand why my local domain (example.com) is now suddently considered remote and mail delivery attempted via smtp? My domain uses a spam filtering service and my mail host is hidden. If you do a MX lookup on my domain (example.com), you will get the MX's of the spam filter service. So the flow here is, internet -> spam filter service -> direct SMTP to my mail host, which then receives the mail and does an MX lookup, finds records pointing to the spam filter service and tries to forward there. But it should just take the mail and stuff it in local boxes. Im at my wits end. Help! Thank you.
