Where to Add Relay Domains Exim4?

richinsc · 04-23-2007, 10:32 PM

I am trying to allow and add to my exim4 server the domain vtext.com to allow for pager notifications. But I am unable to find the file where the domains need to be posted. I have looked into config files and keep seeing a refrence to +relay_to_hosts and +relay_from_hosts.

I am using Debian Etch and here is the resuslt of the log

Code:

2007-04-23 21:20:39 1HgBa3-0001ml-OJ <= root@domain.org U=root P=local S=361
2007-04-23 21:20:55 1HgBa3-0001ml-OJ ** 9999999999@vtext.com R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost: SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<9999999999@vtext.com>: host smtp.where.secureserver.net [64.202.166.11]: 553 sorry, relaying denied from your location [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (#5.7.1)

2007-04-23 21:21:21 1HgBaP-0001n8-2t Completed

On a note I have edited this log entry above before posting to not have my domain or number to prevent spamming from spammers.

Anyway.. All I want to do is allow my mail server to send an email to the vtext.com domain.

Any help would be great.

On an added note, it seems that anything that is not hosted my smtp.secureserver.net is unable to be relayed by my server.

this is from my exim.conf

domainlist relay_domains = lsearch;/etc/localdomains : \
lsearch;/etc/secondarymx
hostlist relay_hosts = lsearch;/etc/relayhosts : \
localhost

hope that helps

Well I added those but every time I restart exim I still get same log result. Exim was installed and configured using apt-get and debconf for configuring. So where these actual files are being stored I don't know.. If I would have built this from source and written my own config files I could maybe get this to work. This is what my config files lists.

Code:

# List of recipient domains to relay _to_. Use this list if you're -
# for example - fallback MX or mail gateway for domains.
.ifndef MAIN_RELAY_TO_DOMAINS
MAIN_RELAY_TO_DOMAINS = DEBCONFrelay_domainsDEBCONF
.endif
domainlist relay_to_domains = MAIN_RELAY_TO_DOMAINS : \
    lsearch;/etc/secondarymx

# List of sender networks (IP addresses) to _unconditionally_ relay
# _for_. If you intend to be SMTP AUTH server, you do not need to enter
# anything here.
.ifndef MAIN_RELAY_NETS
MAIN_RELAY_NETS = DEBCONFrelay_netsDEBCONF
.endif
hostlist relay_from_hosts = MAIN_RELAY_NETS : \
    lsearch;/etc/relayhosts

The only things I added to config is

Code:

: \ lsearch;/etc/relayhosts 

and 

: \ lsearch;/etc/secondarymx

If I could just figure out where these files are being refrenced then I could add the domains to it.
