Im folgenden ist ein Ausschnitt aus meiner exim.conf: #TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION remote_smtp: driver = smtp authenticate_hosts = smtp.compuserve.de An compuserve habe ich mich auch einmal in Sachen AMTP-Auth versucht. Ich habe es dann irgendwann aufgegeben, weil compuserve seine SMTP-Server wohl etwas anders konfiguriert hat. AFAIK scheiterte die Authentifizierung an einem fehlenden oder zu vielen Gleichheitszeichen in der SMTP-Kommunikation zu Beginn der Verbindung. Verbinde Dich mal via telnet auf Port 25 von smtp.compuserve.de, setze ein EHLO hostname ab und vergleiche den Output _akribisch_ mit dem von postman.arcor.de. # authenticate_host = postman.arcor-online.net Kann der denn auch SMTP-Auth?

If the body of any message that is to be included in an error report is greater than the limit, it is truncated, and a comment pointing this out is added at the top. The actual cutoff may be greater than the value given, owing to the use of buffering for transferring the message in chunks.

It would help if there were some details - like the relevent parts of /etc/exim/exim.conf Someone already mentioned (replied off-list, and thanks) that exim is for sending mail; so my problem isn't with exim. Now I re-read your original query - I understand a bit more of what you are trying to do. I don't think its exim, but also I think you may be confusing several things. A brief explanation about how mail works. When someone sends mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] they have an MTA (like exim - but at their end) which attempts to find who is dealing with mail for yourdomain.com. It does this via a nameserver (dns) lookup for yourdomain.com and ask the nameserver for the MX record. This tells which of (possibly several - they have priorities) ip addresses to contact (via port 25). In your case, I it appears this is soc.umass.edu. In which case they get told is either ponzi.oit.umass.edu (128.119.166.18) or supai.oit.umass.edu (128.119.175.6) - but I assume these actually work - so are you setting up a domain name for yourself? In my case, doing an MX lookup on chandlerfamily.org.uk will point you at someone who is hosting the domain name servers for my domain and mail goes via them, to another name I have asked for mail to be forwarded - my isp. I get the mail from my ISP using fetchmail (using pop3), which sends it to my local copy of exim (via port 25) which then puts it onto a disk on my local server (I could deliver it directly to my local box if I wanted to). I then use courier-imap to provide pop3 and imap services to my whole family who use various mail programs to read the mail. The return journey for mail is similar. My mail program (kmail) sends it to my local copy of exim via port 25. It could (but doesn't) deliver it directly, doing MX lookups etc, but instead sends it on to my isp which then queues it there and then does MX lookups on the address it is trying to send the mail to. So I guess my problem is with a imapd server I have a uw-imapd running, ? Which imapd server, I don't think that comes it to it. and that works internally (i.e. inside the home I can use mozilla to read mail from the mail server via another internal box). But again, sending mail directly to the mail box from an external host won't work (though other tcp stuff works like ftp, http, etc). Eventually get an e-mail from the external sending host failed MX lookup. This sounds like a nameserver problem - can you understand the issues from the text I have written above So what do I need to setup so that mail is received directly? Again, fetchmail will work, but I can't get it directly sent (I have a domain name, etc.). And, what tcp/ip port should I have my dsl/router set up for forwarding to the mail server? You need to get your domain hosting company to point the MX records at the address of your mail box. However, beware - if you have a network behind the dsl/router it probably has private addresses and the router is doing address translation (I half assumed that is what you meand when you say you forwared port25) - in which case you want to set the MX records to point to the ip address of the address translation box, and then tell that where to forward port25. Whether this is a good idea is debatably. The rest of the internet expects MX machines to be available all the time - if you power your box down it may be better to do what I do and forward through your isp, and use fetchmail to get the mail before sending via exim. Of course of your ip address varies because your dsl provided allocates ip addresses dynamically then you will have problems. Thank you for your thoughts.

Any ideas? Exim version is 2.05 #1. Exim is treating the messages as if they *don't* appear in local_domains, so first check: - Are you running Exim as a daemon? If so, make sure you stop restart it. - Is the spelling really really right, and the local_domains setting in the right section (near the top) of exim.conf, and do you really have only one local_domains setting? - Are you sure Exim is using the config file you think it's using? You can verify that Exim is reading the correct value for local_domains by running as root # exim -bP local_domains There is a generic router option called self that you can use to force Exim to accept itself as an MX for domains not listed in local_domains, but you shouldn't use it - find and fix the problem you have, rather than working around it and introducing a potential DOS weakness. Finally, once a message is frozen it stays that way until you change it (unless you have used the auto_thaw option in exim.conf), so even once things are working OK you'll have to use something like # exim -M message-id to place them back in the delivery queue.

Re: Exim Problem
Do you have this in /etc/host.conf? order hosts,bind this should tell DNS to look in /etc/hosts before looking into named (or at least this is what I think it should do :) Yep that is what is in my /etc/host.conf file. and it still don't work, it look to me like exim and smail (which I have tried on my second machine) as just doing a DNS lookup and ignoring the /etc/host.conf file. I have configured both exim and smail using the debian config programs. and selected option 1, internet mail, as the other options don't seem to take into account if you are not connected to the internet, I think the problem is that my nameserver is just a cacheing name server and so doesn't do reverse lookups, Why shouldn't a cache DNS server cache reverse lookup? Have you tried this? I'm asking this because I usually work in closed domains (i.e. no connection to the net) so I have to build my DNS server and don't use cache server that much. well I have finally fixed this problem, I had to configure a full namserver as for some reason, a cacheing nameserver just didn't so the job, I even tried smail to see if it was a exim problem and the same thing happened. Could this be the problem or should I reconfigre exim/smail using the config progam? If I reconfigure them using the config program which option should I use? Well, I don't know, sorry.
