Re: [PHP] Exim sendmail faults
Are you able to do an nslookup of these domains from the server? Those, of course, were just example email addresses (I'd replaced them before sending out this email so it would be more clear).

Re: [PHP] Exim sendmail faults
Liam, I was going to ask you whether a normal user on your computer could send mail (OK, root counts). As the answer is no, it is not a problem with your php setup. sympatico.ca has several MX entries, the first of which is smtp26.bellglobal.com and I can ping that from here. I also get a response by telnetting to port 25. I conclude that I could send email to that address (whether the user would be accepted I don't know). As you presently cannot from your computer, I guess its an Exim configuration issue (which I know nothing about), but have you configured it up for your computer, domain etc.? Hope this helps.

Re: [PHP] Exim sendmail faults
Liam, Unfortunately I discarded the earlier messages, so I don't know what your error is. Do you have a fixed IP or do you have something like the Mpowered service where you're behind sympatico's NAT server? Can you use exim to send mail from the console? Is sympatcio allowing this? You may have to configure exim to use sympatico's SMTP server. (It's been so long since I've done that I forget how, and it was a real trial and error approach.)

Liam, Is anydomain.ca in exim's configuration file? Where did that come from?

I was using sympatico.ca when I was doing my testing.

Can you point me to the web page they are on? I assume exim let's you send mail to yourself on the same box. Yes, if I mail to a user on that box it works but I suspect that that is because exim is smart enough to just stuff it directly to that user's box rather than sending it out for a world trip.

If you can send mail from this then permissions to send are OK, and we look around the Exim configuration.
