From the +all run you posted, the results seemed to be that DNS was working just fine, but there was simply no path for "domain.net". You really wanted to see the result of sending "1JKy2n-0005vt-Nq", not the resulting bounce message, but I think the issue is still apparent. > Let's route the address 15:45:19 22813 routing [EMAIL PROTECTED] > First router was forced failure because it didn't match any of the domains destined for it. 15:45:19 22813 --------> hubbed_hosts router <-------- 15:45:19 22813 error message: "if" failed and "fail" requested 15:45:19 22813 failure was forced > not a local domain since there was no matching prefix in the LHS of the email address. I don't know what your prefix is but if it was "prefix" then the address would have to look like "prefix+a.smith" to match. 15:45:19 22813 error message: "if" failed and "fail" requested 15:45:19 22813 failure was forced > Aliases failed since "domain.net" not in local_domains list OR MAIN_LOCAL_DOMAINS list. 15:45:19 22813 --------> system_aliases router <-------- 15:45:19 22813 system_aliases router skipped: domains mismatch > Not in local_domains list 15:45:19 22813 --------> userforward router <-------- 15:45:19 22813 userforward router skipped: domains mismatch 15:45:19 22813 --------> system_aliases router <-------- > Not in local_domains list 15:45:19 22813 --------> procmail router <-------- 15:45:19 22813 procmail router skipped: domains mismatch 15:45:19 22813 --------> maildrop router <-------- 15:45:19 22813 maildrop router skipped: domains mismatch 15:45:19 22813 --------> lowuid_aliases router <-------- 15:45:19 22813 lowuid_aliases router skipped: domains mismatch 15:45:19 22813 --------> local_user router <-------- 15:45:19 22813 local_user router skipped: domains mismatch 15:45:19 22813 --------> mail4root router <-------- 15:45:19 22813 mail4root router skipped: domains mismatch > Completely out of routers to try, BOUNCE! 15:45:19 22813 no more routers So basically, "domain.net" doesn't match the domains that are sent to your smart router nor is it considered a local_domain. There is no default router for messages to fall on (probably good thing) and as a result, it tried to bounce it. "domain.net" seems to be registered to Wayne de Geere III and has been operating correctly since 1995. Are you sure this is the domain you are talking about? "example.com" is the domain reserved by the IANA specifically for examples, however this lists policy is to not obfuscate as it generally causes more issues that it solves. All email addresses and message ids are obfuscated when they are archived on the web regardless, to prevent web crawlers from picking up valid email addresses. -- The Exim Manual http://www.exim.org/docs.html http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/index.html -- ## 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/
