Hi all, I ran my domain through a DNS health checker type site, just to make sure I fix any issues. The only 'problem' was that it said the SMTP greeting on my MXs doesn't match that listed as the FQDN for the domain. That's because I tend to run many services on the same box so technically it has many hostnames.
Now if I want mail.mydomain.com in the DNS for the MX record but it's hostname (hostname -f) is foobar.mydomain.com then if I don't want to change it's hostname can I not set something in Exim? I tried setting MAIN_HARDCODE_PRIMARY_HOSTNAME='mail.mydomain.com' in update-exim4.conf.conf after some Googling. I did a restart and exim4 complained with : Stopping MTA for restart:undocumented line MAIN_HARDCODE_PRIMARY_HOSTNAME='mail.mydomain.com' found in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf, generating exim macro exim4_listener. Restarting MTA: exim4. But then, strangely, it seems to work if I do an nc localhost 25. So question: Is this the right (Debian) way of doing it? Just want my domain to pass all the checks for a correct configuration :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
