Hello,
I write to you to ask for help in the following subject: I had
configured an Exim MTA under Debian 3.1 to work in mode "mail sent by
smarthost; received via SMTP or fetchmail". I need the server to send
all emails to external domains to a smarthost (which requires AUTH
PLAIN) and the emails to local accounts to be kept in the server.
After some testing I notice that the emails are not delivered to the
smarthost and they bounce with this error:
---
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=1376
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:
host smtp.domain3 [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:
554 Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)
---
Where [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the original recipient, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
is the local account that executed the "mail" command to send the email,
and smtp.domain3 is the smarthost.
Is there any way to disable that option and use plain MAIL FROM
commands? What is that option intended to? It's not clear to me why Exim
set "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the AUTH option event when the
authentication was made with some other username.
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
Regards,
