I'm in the process of getting a little home network set up. One of the hosts, call it mach2, won't have a connection to the internet, just to other hosts on my home network. The other host, call it mach1, will occasionally connect to the internet via dialup. I have mach1 all set up but can't seem to get mach2 to forward all the mail to mach1. In fact I can't get mach2 to deliver mail directly to mach1 at all.
What I want to do is set mach2 so that it uses mach1 as a smarthost. I think I got that right in my exim.conf (configuration 2 from the debian installation) but I can't seem to make it work. When I send email to, for example, [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get this in my exim mainlog: 1999-07-25 10:38:36 118R4n-0000B0-00 == [EMAIL PROTECTED] routing defer (-32): retry time not reached or 1999-07-25 10:39:47 118R4n-0000B0-00 == [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost defer (-1): I get the same thing if I send the email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, something's not quite right with mach1. If I connect manually, eg., telnet mach1 smtp and type rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get: 550 relaying to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> prohibited by administrator but if I do rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] it works. Any ideas? Thanks, Gary
