Greetings all:
Can anyone help with this? Am running Centos 4.7, Cpanel 11.24.4, Exim v4 with
Chirpy's csf and lfd installed.
We are going to migrate to a new server. After transferring all the accounts to
the new server, but before changing the DNS entries which point to the old
server, I would like to send emails
to users on the new server in the format "userid"@[206.XXX.XXX.XXX] where
206.XXX.XXX.XXX is an IP
on the _new_ server. This is the "domain literal" format, and I need it
for testing purposes.
Without changes to exim.conf, the emails are rejected "domain literals not
allowed" in the message from the server at SMTP time.
I tried modifying exim.conf by uncommenting
"local_domains_include_host_literals" as sugested in the file:
# If you want to accept mail addressed to your host's literal IP address, for
# example, mail addressed to "u...@[111.111.111.111]", then uncomment the
# following line, or supply the literal domain(s) as part of "local_domains"
# above.
local_domains_include_host_literals
but upon restarting Exim I would get a "Exim configuration error" and the
service would not start.
Chirpy's suggestion is adding the line:
"allow_domain_literals" to the first open textbox in Cpanel advanced conf.
editor. He also suggested adding the IP used in the address field to the
etc/localdomains file in the format [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx], brackets included.
The result is that there are no more bounce messages, however the emails are
not being delivered. Each account on the server has a dedicated IP. The exim
maillog indicates the email is "frozen".

R=literal defer (-1): remote host address is the local host
2009-06-03 20:06:38 1MC2Ll-00017v-RZ Frozen
This happens whether I use an external email acct to send or if I send from the
same account on the server.
There was another post somewhere which suggested adding the "@[] as a line in
etc/localdomains however this does not seem to change anything. I have also
tried adding the IP in the address to the etc/localdomains (within [] without
success.
Exim v3 did not have this problem.
Help!! Thanks!
