No I was just asking. I'm just trying to figure out why I can send email from my server and manually to it via telnet, but all other messages from mail clients get rejected...did you do this telnet from the server? or from a remote machine? if you did it from the server, it will, of course, connect. again, can you see the email you manually sent? does it show in the exim logs? /var/log/exim4/mainlog
Yes I was emailing from remote machines. I tested sending directly from the remote server and from secondary mail clients that used the remote server.
Strangely all the messages are coming through now and I have no idea why. I wonder if my ISP updated its DNS info while I've been fiddling with my server, or have I just hit a magic button? :-)
Anyway it seems to be working now so thanks to you ( and the others ) for helping me troubleshoot this.
