The only issue is getting > machine generated mail from the fw to the internal mail server. What's the difference? How are those internal hosts (for which it is working) configured? Why can't the firewall machine be configured the same way? > Disabling local delivery (local to the firewall) forces exim on the > firewall to look for the appropriate mail server. Right ... maybe you ought to set it to deliver all mail through a smart host, and set that smart host to be your mailserver. I think this is what eximconfig calls a "satellite system". Your exim.conf smarthost router will look something like this: smarthost: driver = domainlist transport = remote_smtp route_list = "* 192.168.x.x byname" Also make sure that your mail server relays for this host, but I think you've probably already done that, probably by allowing your entire 192.168.x.x subnet to relay through the mailserver. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- http://www.eff.org/
