exim problem solved. how do i configure mozilla?
hello all!
patience pays. the error that made me go through all the trouble was in
the first section of exim.conf file.
here is the relevant section:
######################################################################
# MAIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS #
######################################################################
# Specify the domain you want to be added to all unqualified addresses
# here. Unqualified addresses are accepted only from local callers by
# default. See the receiver_unqualified_{hosts,nets} options if you want
# to permit unqualified addresses from remote sources. If this option is
# not set, the primary_hostname value is used for qualification.
qualify_domain = deshmukh.work
now, my smarthost 192.168.100.1, does not understand deshmukh.work and
would not send messages out. exim however, did the job of delivering.
the bounce wont reach me because deshmukh.work is not understood by my
smarthost.
so, it was set right and using shell login, i am able to send messages
to all!!
so far so good.
now, i changed smtp server in my mozilla to 192.168.100.21 - my
machine's ip address. it is unable to deliver message. the error i get is:
an error occured while sending mail. the mail server responded: relayin
to <debian-user@lists.debian.org> prohibited by administrator. (failed
to find hostname from ip address). please check mail receipients and try
again
curiously, mail can be sent using mail address command.
thanx
