Here is how I set my exim up.
I "finally!" got the beast to work. I have
a suggestion for how to install it. When the install script starts
give it the following answers:
Question # Answer
1. Your HOME network.domain
2 none
3 none
4 none
5 No Filter
6 your.ISPsmtp server
7 Any user (I made one called boss)
8 Yes - Replace /etc/aliases ( after
you have the #7 already created)
Then go into the /etc/exim.conf and check the following:
qualify_domain = Your Home.domain
local_domains = localhost # This made it deliver mail from the
ISP to me.
Have you read the man page for exim_dbmbuild and built the database?
The main configuration setting below might be problem.
In /etc/exim do you have the following?
######################################################################
# MAIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS #
######################################################################
qualify_domain = lebowski
local_domains = localhost:lebowski
######################################################################
# ROUTERS CONFIGURATION #
# Specifies how remote addresses are handled #
######################################################################
# ORDER DOES MATTER #
# A remote address is passed to each in turn until it is accepted. #
######################################################################
smarthost:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "* smtp.yourISPsmtohost bys_a"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
end
######################################################################
# REWRITE CONFIGURATION #
######################################################################
*@lebowski ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} bcfrF
If you do, then sorry, I can't help you.
You might try exim-users-request@exim.org.
