I've attempted to setup exim4 on a second debian OS, using the
working configuration from the older one.
Before getting too detailed I think I see something in output of my
debug technique that indicated somewhere my host is telling exim the
wrong host name.
(dv is host with working config )
I use this technique; sending a mail like this:
mailx -v -s "TEST 160912_211756 dv" rea...@newsguy.com < ~/txtmsg.txt
I run that command then watch the smtp output from the little
test script named `tmail'.
On the working host the first bit of output:
$ tmail rea...@newsguy.com
sending like this:
mailx -v -s "TEST 160912_211756 dv" rea...@newsguy.com < ~/txtmsg.txt
LOG: MAIN
<= harry@dv U=harry P=local S=546
[...]
Now the second, non-working host:
tmail rea...@newsguy.com
sending like this: (Non-working host is `d2')
mailx -v -s "TEST 160912_211617 d2" rea...@newsguy.com < ~/txtmsg.txt
LOG: MAIN
<= ha...@d2local.lan U=harry P=local S=440
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Notice the above difference .. in the working host it shows
harry@dv (hostname is dv.local.lan)
In the non-working host:
ha...@d2local.lan (hostname is d2.local.lan)
Somewhere in my setup exim4 is finding the hostname without the
separating dot in d2.local.lan and is using d2local.lan
Which may be causing the failure: Following the smtp otuput:
------- ------- ---=--- ------- -------
delivering 1bjcKi-0001Ey-9B
R: nonlocal for rea...@newsguy.com
LOG: MAIN
** rea...@newsguy.com R=nonlocal: Mailing to remote domains not supported

R: nonlocal for ha...@d2local.lan
LOG: MAIN
** ha...@d2local.lan R=nonlocal: Mailing to remote domains not supported

------- ------- ---=--- ------- -------
Or am I making too much of the missing dot and it really is that I've
missed an important setting that lets exim4 deliver to outside of lan?
