It seems that AOL is silently rejecting my emails that I send to users
of the service. My setup is hamm with exim sending over a dial-up
dynamic address to smarthost via smtp. I have header rewrite rules set
to change the outgoing headers to correspond to that of the smarthost
but I think I am missing something. I would guess AOL is rejecting it
like spam that has bogus headers. My local machine name is
brian.servis.snet which of course is a fake name. I have noticed in
mails to this list that the Message-ID header is not being
re-written(is it supposed to?), i.e. it still shows something like
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
My rewrite section of exim.conf is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffsr
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffsr
The above gives:
% exim -brw [EMAIL PROTECTED]
sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
env-from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
env-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I didn't select to rewrite all headers because I want the inbound
headers to reflect the local machine name.
I can send my exim.conf if that is needed. I set it up using eximconfig
and selecting option 2.
Thanks,
