Re: Yahoo says I'm a Spam-o-Rama (NEW: Fetchmail RESOLVED)



Okay, I found the problem and resolved it. Learning process here! I tried
telneting to localhhost port 25. And it refused connections. That pointed me
in the right direction!

bruce@manygriffi:/etc/exim4$ more update-exim4.conf.conf
# /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
#
# Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf
# yourself or use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config'

dc_eximconfig_configtype='smarthost'
dc_other_hostnames=''
dc_local_interfaces='192.168.1.25:127.0.0.1'
dc_readhost=''
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets='192.168.1.0/24:127.0.0.1/32'
dc_smarthost='mail.bellsouth.net'
dc_never_users='never_users = root'
CFILEMODE='644'
bruce@manygriffi:/etc/exim4$

I had to allow 127.0.0.1 (localhost) on dc_local_interfaces (interfaces you
listen for SMTP connections on). By setting it to 192.168.1.25 (my eth0), I
was only allowing smtp connections on eth0. Fetchmail uses localhost, so I
had to allow that.
