Re: Is potatoe's exim 3.12-1 OK?
Sorry for yet more noise, but downgrading to exim_3.03-5_i386.deb fixed the problem. I still think it has something to do with the fragmenting as suggested by Wouter, because when I do a traceroute -F smtp.student.unsw.edu.au, the last hop fails with [snip] 129.654 ms !A * 119.699 ms !A I'll have to find out through the exim people. Thanks, Mark.
Re: Is potatoe's exim 3.12-1 OK?
Hmmm. My exim's smtp transport doesn't seem to work. I can send email by telneting to port 25 of smtp.student.unsw.edu.au and, netscape can send mail, but exim cannot. I haven't changed any configs. I don't get any useful error messages. Just the timeout. Any ideas? Regards, Mark. -- On Tue, 18 Jan 2000 05:33:59 Gregory T. Norris wrote: Working fine here...

Hi, Wouter Hanegraaff wrote: I had similar problems when I didn't use an smtp while sending mail to certain adresses, only I use postfix.

Thanks for the info. I think you are correct as my ISP was out of action for 1 day - they possibly changed something around. I have also noticed a drop in ftp speed - 3.3k to 2.3k. Also, I bypass thier mta and use the main unsw one where my mail account is (access permissions are ok though). Obviously I will have to change this until the problem is fixed. The exim smpt transfer agent does seem to transfer mail to a second debian box I have running exim so I guess exim's smtp tranfer is OK. Thanks, Mark.
re: Is potatoe's exim 3.12-1 OK?
Mark, I have the same problem. My messages eventually freeze, and the error is SMTP timeout while connected to ... many bytes weritten written, but message not completed. I would have quoted your earlier post, but I'm mailing this via telnet to port 25 of my ISP, because I can't post out with Exim. Suggestions welcome (by both of us)! Thanks much, Russ [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I had similar problems when I didn't use an smtp while sending mail to certain adresses, only I use postfix. My error was: (conversation with columbo.hvu.nl[145.89.50.200] timed out while sending end of data -- message may be sent more than once) However, this turned out to be a router problem, not a Postfix problem. So you might have the same problem. Have a look at http://www.postfix.org and go to the FAQ. The exact description is at the item Mail fails with timeout or lost connection. If you have this problem, you can't solve it yourself because it's caused by some router fragmenting packets it should not fragment.

RE: Is potatoe's exim 3.12-1 OK?
You might have a problem with the local_domains setting in /etc/exim.conf. It'll only accept *@yourdomain).com settings via smtp. I've gotten bounced messages that way before umm... Otherwise Check your relay_domains setting and/or the relay_domains_include_local_mx setting. Might help (if you're using the 'mx' setting to have bind running, though this could be a kludge. I'm just taking a stab here, but it's worth checking out. Have you looked at the exim home page? Whenever I've had exim problems, I've been able to get them fixed there. Though I only use it in a T1/DSL setting. Hope some of this helps.
