At 6:20 AM -0700 7/23/02, Carl Keil imposed structure on a stream of electrons, yielding: I installed SIMS yesterday, but I can't get it to do what I want it to do. I want it to relay mail from my linux server to the outside world.
it is set up on domain.com mail coming in from the php form on the linux arrives from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" I've set the SIMS router up with "linux.domain.com = mail.domain.com" I've set the linux's IP address in the TCP relay host box I can't think of what else to do. When I log into SIMS with outlook express I can send email to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". When the php form sends mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" it comes through in outlook. but I want the php form to be able to send to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and that's not working. I've set "mail.domain.com" as the php SMTP server in the php.ini file Any ideas? Please? SIMS is probably choking on the fact that mail is claiming to be from [EMAIL PROTECTED], but the router is making it aware of the fact that if that address exists, it's local. If thre is no such adddress, SIMS will reject the message, because it knows that the mail is unbounceable. Don't send unbounceable mail. It's rude and technically a violation of RFC821. Either have the router direct mail for 'apache' to your account or create a new account, but don't send mail out that can't be bounced. -- Bill Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey, I got it to work. I had already created a user named apache, and that didn't solve it. What I apparently needed to add was a line for linux.domain.com in my DNS? Once I did that things started flying. I read in the SMTP instructions that the SMTP module uses the DNS to authenticate users and where mail is coming and going, etc. Thanks for the suggestions. ck ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
