I'm running exim 4.72 to service a small number of users (less than 50) and to relay mail from a few groupware apps running on one particular machine (which I'll call Samson).
Samson sends email 'from' quite a few different addresses. It can have any number of group projects, and each group project has a name, and the names become part of a cluster of associated email accounts, such as " [email protected]" and "[email protected]" and " [email protected]". I have samson's FQDN, ip address, and the verizon-generated FQDN for the public ip address (see below) all added to my relay-from-hosts file, which then looks something like this: 11.111.111.1 static-11-111-111-1.prvdri.fios.verizon.net samson.example.com The problem I'm having is that mail from samson is being rejected with verification errors. I thought I had exim configured to relay from samson correctly, but I've obviously done something wrong. I'm a n00b. Not going to pretend I know what's wrong. Here's an example rejection, from my mainlog: 2011-04-25 11:55:27 H=static-11-111-111-1.prvdri.fios.verizon.net ( samson.free-conversant.com) [11.111.111.1] F=<[email protected]> rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: Sender verify failed My exim.cf has this: Under the Main Configuration Settings: hostlist relay_from_hosts = lsearch;/etc/exim/relay-from-hosts my acl_check_rcpt contains (among lots of other things): acl_check_rcpt: accept hosts = : control = dkim_disable_verify deny message = Restricted characters in address domains = +local_domains local_parts = ^[.] : ^.*[@%!/|] deny message = Restricted characters in address domains = !+local_domains local_parts = ^[./|] : ^.*[@%!] : ^.*/\\.\\./ deny condition = ${if eq {$sender_address_local_part}{postmaster} \ {true}{false}} sender_domains = +local_domains deny condition = ${if eq {$sender_address_local_part}{nobody} \ {true}{false}} sender_domains = +local_domains accept local_parts = postmaster domains = +local_domains require verify = sender accept hosts = +relay_from_hosts control = submission control = dkim_disable_verify accept authenticated = * control = submission/sender_retain control = dkim_disable_verify add_header = X-Authenticated-Sender: ${sender_address} require message = relay not permitted domains = +local_domains : +relay_to_domains require verify = recipient accept (Sorry if this is hard to follow.) Can anyone help me figure this out?
