Hi everyone, This is my first post to this list. I have been trying to get exim4 to work on my Ubuntu server so that I can create a web development staging server in my home office.
The primary purpose of using exim4 is to enable my PHP scripts to send out emails with the mail() function. For my php.ini file, I made the following changes: ; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i"). sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i I installed exim4 by entering: sudo apt-get install exim4 exim4-base exim4-config Then I configured exim4 by entering: sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config I selected the option to use exim4 as "mail sent by smarthost; no local mail". I edited the exim file passwd.client with my ISP's SMTP settings like: mail.whatever.com:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:mypassword This is the error I received: 2007-09-15 23:43:57 1IWZoI-0004gB-Da ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost: SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: host whatever.com [74.200.79.210]: 550-Verification failed for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n550 Sender verify failed 2007-09-15 23:43:57 1IWZoL-0004gE-Hg <= <> R=1IWZoI-0004gB-Da U=Debian-exim P=local S=1433 2007-09-15 23:43:57 1IWZoI-0004gB-Da Completed 2007-09-15 23:44:00 1IWZoL-0004gE-Hg ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost: SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: host whatever.com [74.200.79.210]: 550 2007-09-15 23:44:00 1IWZoL-0004gE-Hg Frozen (delivery error message) I am trying to use my "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mail account to send emails. I do not know where "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" came from it seems to be causing the problem "550-Verification failed for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n550 Sender verify failed". I made some changes to my exim config: I entered “mail.whatever.com:25” into the “IP address or host name of the outgoing smarthost” field. Same problem... Could anyone please help me out? -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
