Can't post to list with mutt/exim4?!
Hello,
I have got some trouble posting to this list using my prefered MUA mutt
(1.5.13-1.1) and MTA exim4-daemon-light (4.63-12).
But when I use IceDove it works just fine.
Here is what I think is happening:
Some of the headers are not correctly added respectively removed, when sending
with mutt/exim, so my messages don't get through the Spam filter. So I compared
the headers provided by icedove to those of exim and did some changes to my
exim-config, so they now look pretty similar.
Her some more info on my changes:
1. changed the helo_data to reflect my private IP (helo=[192.168.178.20]) as
this is the helo sent by icedove, because I am behind a NAT firewall. Actually I
think this is also not correct, but it seems to work with icedove:
'helo_data = [192.168.178.20]'
2. removed the local "Message-ID" which exim added by setting:
'headers_remove = "Message-ID"'
in the smtp transport.
3. reconfigure exim, so it does not add any "Received:"-header:
'received_header_text = ""'
since it contained my fake domain name.
So, after doing these changes the headers (the ones I consider relevant) nearly
look the same when sending a message with either icedove or mutt/exim.
Is there something I missed? Am I completely going to the wrong direction, or
did I even overdo? Which additional information do I need to provide?
Any advise will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Marcus
