Hi group, i recently migrated from a standard installation of exim (mail server only), to a model with an upstream server or (exim) smarthost.
I'm using most of the configuration i used previoiusly when i hade exim in server mode only for both the server and the smarthost (basically because i haven't had time to refine both config files at 100%). The mail server is doing plain smtp auth to the (exim) smarthost. This is working pretty fine using the examples in the exim-doc. Unless the architecture work i can see weird messages in the logs, something i want to fix because they sound like a loop between the exim smarthost and exim mail server. An example snip is like this: <SNIP SMARTHOST> 2008-02-04 01:05:10 1JLopf-0006vG-6I <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] H= wx-out-0506.google.com [66.249.82.231] P=esmtp S=1926 id= [EMAIL PROTECTED] T="test" 2008-02-04 01:05:29 1JLopf-0006vG-6I => [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=send_to_mailserver T=remote_smtp H=mail.surestorm.com [89.128.3.108] X= TLS-1.0:RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA1:32DN="C=ES,ST=Asturias,L=Gijon,O=XXXXXXX,OU=Security,CN= mail.DOMAIN.com" C="250 OK id=1JLoq1-0003Qh-Et" 2008-02-04 01:05:29 1JLopf-0006vG-6I Completed *2008-02-04 01:05:48 H=mail.DOMAIN.com [IP.IP.IP.IP] F=<> rejected RCPT < [EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Relay Not Permitted 2008-02-04 01:05:48 unexpected disconnection while reading SMTP command from mail.DOMAIN.com [IP.IP.IP.IP]* </SNIP SMARTHOST> <SNIP SERVER> 2008-02-04 01:05:29 1JLoq1-0003Qh-Et <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] H=mailhost.DOMAIN.com[ 64.79.209.162] P=esmtps X=TLS-1.0:RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA1:32 S=2154 id= [EMAIL PROTECTED] T="test" 2008-02-04 01:05:30 1JLoq1-0003Qh-Et => /home/MAILSRV/DOMAIN.com/USER/Maildir/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=virtual_user T=address_directory 2008-02-04 01:05:30 1JLoq1-0003Qh-Et Completed </SNIP SERVER> As you can see in the bold lines, after a message is received by the smarthost and sent to the server, the server looks like trying to send back the message to the smarthost. I'm not sure how to debug this or what could be the problem. The basic router in the server is this: send_to_smarthost: driver = manualroute route_list = !+local_domains mailhost.surestorm.com transport = remote_smtp The most important router in the smarthost is this other: always_verify: driver = manualroute domains = ! +local_domains verify_sender verify_only route_list = * send_to_mailserver: driver = manualroute route_list = +local_domains mail.surestorm.com transport = remote_smtp I really appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks advance.
