The problem sounds like it is a configuration issue with exim. It thinks that the smart host you've specified for that domain is the local box it's running on, not the remote host where you actually want to deliver the e-mail. The router being used is 'smarthost', shown by R=smarthost. Exim should be doing a dns lookup to determine where to deliver email for that domain. It appears the answer it is getting is ... itself. Try this command to test how exim determines the proper path for the domain: exim -bt [EMAIL PROTECTED] found @ [2]http://bradthemad.org/tech/notes/exim_cheatsheet.php Also keep in mind that assp doesn't accept email itself then pass them to exim, it is simply listening in on the conversation it passes to exim. -Brian Jeroen van Aart wrote:
I sent this to the assp list but they didn't seem to know. I am trying to route outgoing email through assp (a spamfilter proxy) like this: MUA --> MTA (EXIM) --> ASSP --> MTA (EXIM) --> internet The second MTA is on another server. When I tell exim to do so I get this error. It happens when I send an email from the address this email came from (I actually did send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED], assuming that the address can be used for testing, rfc2606): 2008-01-17 14:15:04 1JFd0q-0004Ij-N1 remote host address is the local host: example.com 2008-01-17 14:15:04 1JFd0q-0004Ij-N1 == [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost defer (-1): remote host address is the local host assp's logs don't show it ever arrived so I assume assp rejects it for some reason. It works fine if that instance of exim sends it out itself or uses another smarthost (also exim). I figure this isn't the right place to ask but I'll try. Is there some specific thing I need to configure to allow email submissions to assp this way? It does work if the MUA directly submits to assp, but that solution is not ideal (I need encrypted access on port 465 and 587, which exim does fine).
