I'm trying to set up exim whose hostname is managed by a local dns server. Let's say our domain is abc.com and the exim server is running on mail.abc.com. When I tried to send mail using alpine on another host in the same domain, e.g. client.abc.com and specifying a sender address to be [email protected], exim refused to send the mail and log file showed:
2010-09-08 16:46:31 H=([192.168.1.60]) [192.168.1.60] F=<[email protected]> rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: Sender verify failed 2010-09-08 16:47:01 H=([192.168.1.60]) [192.168.1.60] sender verify fail for <[email protected]>: Unknown user However, if I changed the sender address to my company email address, e.g. [email protected], that exim successfully verified the sender. If I dig -t mx abc.com, it returned me the correct (internal) ip address in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. Could someone tell me what exim was doing when it verified the sender address? And how can I get it to send mail from [email protected]? I do not want to disable require verify = sender Thanks. -- -hoki -- ## 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/
