And I was wrong to suggest that the order of entries in /etc/hosts might make a difference. It doesn't matter that ::1 came second here. If the host prefers IPv6 in the address-ordering results of gethostbyname(), ::1 will come first. I somewhat suspect that this is what went wrong. Mailman was connecting to localhost, was trying ::1 before 127.0.0.1, Exim accepted the connection and the relaying was denied because you had provided an incomplete list of local IPs to the relay_from_hosts hostlist definition. An easy mistake to make, perhaps the default entry should be changed too. I'll file a bug. If this wasn't the cause, pass. -Phil -- ## 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/
