I wonder what the problem is. Timing maybe? Now I see the MX : $ host -t mx tacocat.net tacocat.net mail is handled by 10 janus.tacocat.net. Are you still getting that error now? HTH, -D
I finally got it fixed, it was a DNS fault of mine.What I'm trying to figure out is getting this server to act as a relay for sending my ISP email and as a destination for tacocat.net. I can use fetchmail to grab my ISP email. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a very clear nomenclature of how I would configure this under exim. I've tried reading the exim documentation for the configuration, but it's written assuming you are already familiar with everything to do with exim and exim.conf and just need a reference. Very difficult to find a simple answer.
Originally I was trying qmail, but I never got it running. Don't remember why, might have just forgotten where I was in the process. And I figured I would look at exim since it's already in there. But the configuration process, beyond the script, seems to be a little hard to understand. Maybe all I need is a fresh pot of coffee and a little more RTM.
