I'm setting up exim on a new server, "newserver.test.com". Whenever I send test messages from Alpine / PINE from either the localhost (same as newserver.test.com) or a different host that's configured to look at the new server, I get the following messages in my mainlog:
To a gmail account: 2009-04-23 15:49:33 H=newserver.test.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] F=< [email protected]> rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: relay not permitted 2009-04-23 15:49:35 1Lx6nX-0001JT-Nf <= [email protected] H= newserver.test.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] P=esmtpsa X=TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256 A=dovecot_plain:testuser1 S=574 id= [email protected] 2009-04-23 15:49:36 1Lx6nX-0001JT-Nf => [email protected] R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp H=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [209.85.147.27] 2009-04-23 15:49:36 1Lx6nX-0001JT-Nf Completed To user on another server in same subnet/domain: 2009-04-23 15:49:48 H=newserver.test.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] F=< [email protected]> rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: relay not permitted 2009-04-23 15:49:48 1Lx6nk-0001JY-ST <= [email protected] H= newserver.test.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] P=esmtpsa X=TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256 A=dovecot_plain:testuser1 S=589 id= [email protected] 2009-04-23 15:49:49 1Lx6nk-0001JY-ST => [email protected]=dnslookup T=remote_smtp H= oldserver.test.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] 2009-04-23 15:49:49 1Lx6nk-0001JY-ST Completed Rejectlog shows: 2009-04-23 15:49:33 H=newserver.test.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] F=< [email protected]> rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: relay not permitted 2009-04-23 15:49:48 H=newserver.test.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] F=< [email protected]> rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: relay not permitted However, the mails are delivered fine, as expected. What is strange are these 'relay not permitted' messages. I have tested with other clients, including Mac Mail and Thunderbird, and do not see these messages in the logs. It seems specific to al/pine only. I do not have this issue on oldserver.test.com. Granted, it's a slightly different setup- most notably not using dovecot and no encryption or security. Any ideas about what might be going on here? It's not a big deal seeing that the messages are getting delivered, but I'd prefer not to see my logs cluttered up with these seemingly bogus messages once I put newserver.test.com into production.
