Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.63.20061010-1
Severity: normal
After upgrading my backup MX server, running Exim, mail stopped flowing
to the primary MX. The log file showed every mail being rejected with
`550 relay not permitted'. I traced this to the following directive in
/etc/exim4/conf.d/acl/30_exim4-config_check_rcpt:
require
message = relay not permitted
domains = +local_domains : +relay_to_domains
The problem is, this line is placed _above_ the call to
CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_ACL_FILE. In my setup, the file pointed by this option
contains the following configuration:
accept
condition = ${if match{${lookup dnsdb{mx=$domain}}}{
my.primary.mx.host(\\n|\$)}{yes}{no}}
log_message = Permitted backup MX for $domain.
Which allows relaying to my domains without them being entered by hand
in the relay_to_domains option. Trouble is, due to the aforementioned
directive, this one is never evaluated. Could you please move the
no-relay directive below the call to CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_ACL_FILE?
Thanks,
