hi everyone! I'm a total newbie who just got a dedicated server and i'm trying to set up exim for my website. however, i'm running into some difficulties.
primarily this: PROBLEM: when i try to send mail from my website via exim it sends mail out *fine* **except** when that mail is directed to a domain that ends in @ithou.org -- i.e., the actual site itself [www.ithou.org] <http://www.ithou.org%5D> . For some reason, mail that is sent to email addresses that end in @ithou.org do not get sent out. More specifically: Normally, when someone comments on the thread located, for example, here: http://www.ithou.org/node/438 email notifications should be sent to the people who have subscribed to the thread or who have participated in or originated the thread. Currently, email notifications are sent out, *as long as* the email address does not end in "ithou.org". If the email address ends with ithou.org, then it's not sent out. The error message in these cases appears to be something like: "lowest numbered MX record points to local host" when I use exim. Now, I think this may be because I'm using zoneedit.com for my nameservers, yes? But I'm not sure. But any which way about it, I would like to be able to receive email message subscription updates when they are sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] and other domains ending in ithou.org. In the mainlog file under exim it looks like, either the mail gets frozen or "user is unknown" when I change my primary host to ithou.org. Also this message; 2006-07-20 12:08:09 1G3ajE-0003DF-LQ == [EMAIL PROTECTED] routing defer (-51): r etry time not reached 2006-07-20 12:08:09 1G3ajE-0003DI-Mc == [EMAIL PROTECTED] routing defer (-51): ret ry time not reached 2006-07-20 12:08:09 1G3Wsq-0002yg-6A == [EMAIL PROTECTED] routing defer (-51): retry time not reached my configuration file has these settings, though I've played around with them a bunch: primary_hostname = ithou.org #domainlist local_domains = @ : ithou.org domainlist local_domains = @ domainlist relay_to_domains = hostlist relay_from_hosts = localhost Is there anything I'm doing wrong? PS I'm using zoneedit.com for my nameservers and also their mail forwarding service, so mail that gets sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets forwarded correctly *as long as it's not coming from the sendmail / exim command from the www.ithou.org website*. thanks for your help.
