The problem could be related to the MX records for foo.com which point to 0.0.0.0 host -t mx foo.com foo.com mail is handled by 1000 0.0.0.0. however things might fall back to the A records I guess.. foo.com has address 23.21.179.138 foo.com has address 23.21.224.150 > > I tried editing exim.conf and changed > > domainlist local_domains = @ : localhost : localhost.localdomain > to > domainlist local_domains = localhost : localhost.localdomain > @ is the local host name - you should check that the hostname is set correctly and has proper forward and reverse DNS entries ( eg linode.foo.com ) as otherwise the remote server is likely to reject any messages ( if it thinks you are spoofing some address which may be the case if it thinks it handles mail for that domain ) -A -- ## List details at https://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/
