Advice for fetchmail & exim config
Hi,
I seem to be one of those people you can't understand unix e-mail
configuration no matter how much I read, books, HOW-TO's etc.
Trying to setup fetchmail & exim.
localhost user name is : localuser
ISP e-mail account is stupidname@isp.net
.fetchmailrc is:
poll mail.isp.net proto apop:
user "stupidname", with password "***", is "localuser" here;
for exim all i did was add:
smarthost:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "* mail.isp.net" bydns_a
When fetchmail is executed I get a rejection error message from exim
which has
...reject relay (host) ...
Does exim think I'm trying to use it as a relay host?
Most confusing is how should the incoming/outgoing filtering/header
rewrite be done? I'm looking for a good example of exim configuration
for simple case of having localuser@localhost able to send/receive local
mail and be able to send/receive mail from stupidname@isp.net.
TIA
