You have an DNS problem. Mailservers only accept mails, if the Domainname of the
machine which wants to send mail (tarot.foo.com) i.e. resolves - fortunately a
reverse lookup is not nesecary. One possibiliy is to use a dynamic DNS, the
other is to use the MAC Address to set tarot to a fixed IP-Address, which
resolves.
Hope, this helps, martin

Thema: Can't send email from machine configured for DHCP [Virus checked by dvs
Leipzig]
Okay. I have one machine set up as a gateway, and I'm using exim with
some rewriting rules for my email gateway. It's been working fine for
years, but now I set up a machine with DHCP, and I find I can't send
email outside my network from that machine. It looks like this is
happening because the domain name isn't being set somewhere where the
local exim would want it.
'bicycle' is the DHCP client. 'tarot' is my network gateway. My local
domain is 'mentasm.org'.
My server's exim.conf is configured to rewrite foo@*.mentasm.org into
foo@ferret.phonewave.net. I'll attach the entire file.
I expect the problem is on the DHCP client somewhere, but I'm not
groking the problem sufficiently to solve it myself.
Here is a bounce message I received on tarot after sending a test
message from bicycle to my ISP email address:
