Hello, I am desperately trying to set the HELO value exim uses for outgoing smtp connections because my host is behind a firewall which does NAT. I've read /usr/share/doc/exim4-config/README.Debian.gz and created /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros witht the following content:
REMOTE_SMTP_HELO_DATA="my.host.name" That did not work. Then I found the following: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=275975 So I tried to set helo_data manually in /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp and /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp_smarthost - the latter I did just in case. That did not work. So I basically set *every* occurrence of helo_data and REMOTE_SMTP_HELO_DATA I found under /etc/exim4 manually. Doesn't work. Under etch, I just changed helo_data in /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template manually - not very nice, but it did what I needed. Now my mailconfig is broken because some hosts won't accept my mails as the HELO does not match the IP of the firewall, of course. Is there really no way to change the outgoing HELO value in exim 4.69-9? I am using the "internet" config of exim4. Any hint would be greatly appreciated!
