Thanks, but I am not sure what entry I should put
in the /etc/aliases file, and whether such an action
will be safe.
Perhaps what I should mention is that the mail goes
through our own local firewall first. We are protected
by another firewall, so this firewall is a 'test' machine,
but nonetheless active and running. The firewall runs
exim, and the machine I am trying to send the mail to
is running sendmail.
I used the syntax [EMAIL PROTECTED] ,
but had to configure exim to accept domain
literals. With sendmail, more recent versions of
sendmail will block domain literals. You have to
uncomment/add the line
FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')
Then run the m4 command to rebuild sendmail.cf.
However, I am now getting the following error when
sending to [EMAIL PROTECTED] :
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
(reason: 553 5.3.5 system config error)
----- Transcript of session follows -----
553 5.3.5 [1.2.3.4] config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)
554 5.3.5 Local configuration error
-----
Any ideas? P.S. I am using 'root', but in reality I will be sending mail to
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. postmaster is already set up as an alias to root,
but I don't know how postmaster is meant to be used in reality.
