Hello everybody, I am on Debian woody. Today I shifted from sylpheed to mutt. So, I had to configure exim. I am having a problem with that. Let me explain.
I have a pop box at softhome.net with two accounts named "santanu" and "santanu4linux" . Accordingly, after configuring exim, it tells me among other things: ============================================================================ Mail generated on this system will have `softhome.net' used as the domain part (after the @) in the From: field and similar places. The following domain(s) will be recognised as referring to this system: localhost, softhome.net Mail for postmaster, root, etc. will be sent to santanu. Local mail is delivered. Outbound remote mail is sent via smtp.softhome.net. ============================================================================ With this configuration, I tried to test run by sending mail to my other account at "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". No problems occured. But if I try to send mail to any of my accounts at "softhome.net", I get the following kind of error mail: =================================================================== Message 1: From MAILER-DAEMON Thu Jul 25 13:48:29 2002 Envelope-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Failed-Recipients: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Mail Delivery System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2002 13:48:28 +0530 This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim). A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unknown local-part "santanu4linux" in domain "softhome.net" ------ This is a copy of the message, including all the headers. ------ . . . ============================================================================== Perhaps the error is caused due to the line : local_domains = localhost:softhome.net in /etc/exim/exim.conf If I edit the line: local_domains = localhost fetchmail downloads my mail but they disappear: ============================================================= santanu@localhost:~$ fetchmail fetchmail: No mail for santanu at pop.softhome.net 1 message for santanu4linux at pop.softhome.net (518 octets). reading message [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1 of 1 (518 octets) fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed fetchmail: can't raise the listener; falling back to /usr/sbin/sendmail %T flushed antanu@localhost:~$ mail No mail for santanu ============================================================= Please help me solve this problem.
