Greetings everyone: I've done my best to install exim [compiled with mysql support] on my dedicated server FreeBSD system. However, I'm having some difficulties in "receiving email" that is sent from outside the system.
When I try to email my system by using the email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get the following bounce message: ---------- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 216.32.94.10 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550 relay not permitted Giving up on 216.32.94.10. =------------------- [My dedicated server is located at IP address 216.32.94.10] This message shows up in the bounced email, as well as in the rejectlog under /var/spools/exim . I've been playing around with different setups for my exim configuration file [/usr/local/etc/exim/configure], just to get something to work, but nothing seems to help. Currently, my configure file has the following settings: -----------exim configure file settings------------ primary_hostname = ithou.org domainlist local_domains = @ : @[] : ithou.org : www.ithou.org : *.ithou.org domainlist relay_to_domains = *.ithou.org : ithou.org hostlist relay_from_hosts = localhost : 216.32.94.10 ----------------------- As a side note, I can mail messages out through the standard shell command line and it gets delivered just fine. However, when I attempt to send mail out using the telnet interface, I get an error [see for example below]. --------telnet error ----------- newinst# telnet mail.ithou.org 25 Trying 216.32.94.10... Connected to mail.ithou.org. Escape character is '^]'. 220 newinst.layeredtech.com ESMTP Exim 4.62 Fri, 11 Aug 2006 14:20:32 -0500 ehlo ithou.org 250-newinst.layeredtech.com Hello ithou.org [216.32.94.10] 250-SIZE 52428800 250-PIPELINING 250 HELP MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 OK RCPT TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 451 Temporary local problem - please try later Finally, I'm using godaddy's "total domain control" in order to specify the mx and A settings for dns and MX mail exchanger. Not sure I did this right, but this part seems to be working ok. Thanks for your help.
