Hi all,
Hi all, After having a suspiciously quiet inbox all weekend, I began to suspect that emails weren't getting through to my account properly. I use the email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] - where the DNS MX record for timcowlishaw.co.uk points to a debian box running exim at marwood.timcowlishaw.co.uk. This server has an exim virtual host set up for that domain that redirects all mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------ contents of /etc/exim4/virtual/timcowlishaw.co.uk: * : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------ however, checking the logs for exim, all the emails to an @timcowlishaw.co.uk address since yesterday sometime have been bounced, with the following error logged: ----------------------- extract from /var/log/exim4/mainlog: 2007-06-10 06:36:53 1HwX9M-0005WY-7T ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp: SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: host mxgate1.49pence.com [213.228.193.198]: 550 not local host gmail.com, not a gateway 2007-06-10 06:36:53 1HwX9M-0005WY-7T [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: error ignored 2007-06-10 06:36:53 1HwX9M-0005WY-7T Completed [I also get a fair few of these liberally scattered around the logs:] 2007-06-10 07:06:24 1HwXOR-0005Xr-7X ** cc-community- [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp: SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: host lists.ibiblio.org [152.46.7.119]: 504 <marwood>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname -------------------------------------------- This has only started happening in the last couple of days, and I have changed nothing in my mail configuration over that period. I'm wondering if gmail have tightened security on their SMTP servers, and are no longer allowing mail to be forwarded in in this way. Does anyone know if this is likely to be the problem, and in any case, whether there is a better method for forwarding the emails from my domain? Cheers!
