I have a stock Sarge install for which I am trying to setup exim4.
However, things are not behaving as expected.
In /etc/aliases I have:
root: me
me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
On the box, I have run "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config", selecting:
* Split configuration into small files: "No"
* General type of mail configuration: "internet site; mail
is sent and received directly using SMTP"
* System mail name: "mydomain.com"
* IP-addresses to listen on for incoming SMTP connections:
"127.0.0.1"
* Other destinations for which mail is accepted: ""
* Domains to relay mail for: ""
* Machines to relay mail for: ""
* Keep number of DNS-queries minimal (Dial-on-Demand):"Yes"
Basically, I want the box to deliver mail directly. I want all mail for local
accounts to arrive at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
However, when I run "mail root" on the box, exim decides the mail is for "[EMAIL
PROTECTED]", rather than [EMAIL PROTECTED] (as I have specified in aliases).
I suspect this has something to do with the precedence/priority of the aliases
file?
Any pointers would be appreciated,
Maybe this is stupid to say, but did you run newaliases after editing
your aliases file?
This is just a guess, I'm a postfix user and have no idea how exim
handles things.
