I'm sure that some more knowledgable people will offer assistance, but
I
noticed one thing..
I assume that this message is destined for some remote address, and
that
you intend to route your mails through your ISP's server.. If this be
the case, then you need to configure your ISP as your smart-host.
Note
that in the first log entry above, that it list the H as hyperion..
your
computer(?). Here is a log entry for a mail send that I made:
------------ begin of log-----------
2003-06-16 19:18:32 19S4BC-0000lI-00 <= dbree@duo-county.com U=dlb
P=local S=1218
### Exim received mail message
2003-06-16 19:18:33 19S4BC-0000lI-00 == xyz@aa.com R=smarthost defer
(-36): host lookup for mail.duo-county.com did not complete (DNS
timeout?)
### I was offline at the time
2003-06-16 19:23:01 Start queue run: pid=2954
2003-06-16 19:23:01 19S4BC-0000lI-00 == xyz@aa.com R=smarthost defer
(-36): host lookup for mail.duo-county.com did not complete (DNS
timeout?)
2003-06-16 19:23:01 End queue run: pid=2954
### Another queue run.. still offline
2003-06-16 19:25:35 Start queue run: pid=2970 -qf
2003-06-16 19:25:43 19S4BC-0000lI-00 => xyz@aa.com R=smarthost
T=remote_smtp H=mail.duo-county.com [66.38.0.203]
2003-06-16 19:25:43 19S4BC-0000lI-00 Completed
### Success!!!
------------ end of log -------------------
Note that it is being sent through the "smarthost" router
(R=smarthost)
and the host (H=mail.duo-county.com)
To get this I have this entry for the smarthost router.
IIRC, this must be placed right after the "end" statement for the
directors...
----------- in exim.conf -------------
# Send all mail to a smarthost
smarthost:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "* mail.duo-county.com bydns_a"
# and it ends with an end statement
end
---------------
I hope this helps.
