We've set up an exim4 email server on a Debian6 system. It'll accept emails, and the forwards them upstream to our ISP, even when the emails are for the local system. How do I get it to stop doing this, and deliver the messages to its own mailboxes?
check for following in exim.conf domainlist local_domains = @ : localhost : localhost.localdomain domainlist virtual_domains = dsearch;/var/spool/mail/conf/virtualdomains
Here's the conf file generated by dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config. I don't see anything for a domainlist. dc_eximconfig_configtype='smarthost' dc_other_hostnames='mail.network.net,smtp.network.net,network.net' dc_local_interfaces='172.16.2.2 ; 172.20.2.2' dc_readhost='network.net' dc_relay_domains='' dc_minimaldns='false' dc_relay_nets='172.16.2.2/16;172.20.2.2/16' dc_smarthost='smtp.outside.com' CFILEMODE='644' dc_use_split_config='false' dc_hide_mailname='true' dc_mailname_in_oh='true' dc_localdelivery='maildir_home' I'm also wondering if the problem is the MDA instead of the MTA.
you have to check it use some command like .. exim4 -C /etc/exim/exim_example.conf -d -bt [email protected] search for your localhost entry .. grep -iR "domainlist local_domains" /etc/exim4/
Ran the command as you said and I got this: Exim version 4.72 uid=0 gid=0 pid=3498 D=fbb95cfd Berkeley DB: Berkeley DB 4.8.30: (April 9, 2010) Support for: crypteq iconv() IPv6 PAM Perl Expand_dlfunc GnuTLS move_frozen_messages Content_Scanning DKIM Old_Demime Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz dnsdb dsearch ldap ldapdn ldapm mysql nis nis0 passwd pgsql sqlite Authenticators: cram_md5 cyrus_sasl dovecot plaintext spa Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral iplookup manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore/mbx autoreply lmtp pipe smtp Fixed never_users: 0 Size of off_t: 8 GnuTLS compile-time version: 2.8.6 GnuTLS runtime version: 2.8.6 changed uid/gid: forcing real = effective uid=0 gid=0 pid=3498 auxiliary group list: <none> LOG: PANIC DIE Exim configuration error in line 19 of /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf: main option "dc_eximconfig_configtype" unknown search_tidyup called >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Exim pid=3498 terminating with rc=1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> That doesn't look good.
