Exim changes
My ISP is soon to make changes to its email system, and as a result I
need to change my exim setup. Basically, whereas the host I used to
send out email used to be "adam.ist.flinders.edu.au", it now is
"mail.infoeng.flinders.edu.au". A quick "grep adam exim.conf" gave
me:
route_list = "* adam.ist.flinders.edu.au bydns_a"
so I changed this to:
route_list = "* mail.infoeng.flinders.edu.au bydns_a"
and then did "/etc/init.d/exim restart".
Surely this is all I need to do I thought. But when I sent off a test
message and looked at /var/log/exim/mainlog it had:
2000-06-13 08:56:03 131dal-0001s8-00 <= mark@ist.flinders.edu.au
U=mark P=local S=1016
id=20000613085603.A6383@destiny.ist.flinders.edu.au 2000-06-13
08:56:06 131dal-0001s8-00 => mark@ist.flinders.edu.au R=smarthost T=r
emote_smtp H=adam.ist.flinders.edu.au [129.96.1.21] 2000-06-13
08:56:06 131dal-0001s8-00 Completed
So it is still using adam.ist.flinders.edu.au!!!!!! What is wrong? I
thought perhaps this invocation of exim is via the inetd??? But if I
look at inetd.conf I see:
#disabled#smtp stream tcp nowait mail /usr/sbin/exim exim -bs
which would suggest that exim is disabled through this mechanism????
I'm confused. Any hints?
Thanks,
Mark.
P.S. I read this list via the archives, which means a delay, so please
cc replies to me. Thanks.
