[SOLVED] Exim4 won't accept IP Range for relay

In update-exim4.conf.conf, the entry:

Code:

dc_relay_nets=’192.168.254.103’

works fine. Message sent from workstation with that IP are delivered, with MAINLOG entry:

Changing update-exim4.conf.conf to:

Code:

dc_relay_nets=’192.168.254.101/200’

results in frozen message with MAINLOG failure:

How on earth is xxx.xxx.xxx.103 not in the range xxx.xxx.xxx.101/200? Where do I go from here to get exim4 to relay from all my DHCP hosts?

Thanks SmartPatrol, of course you are right. Haven't thought about a netmask in a long time (since before CIDR). Will change to '197.168.254.0/24' tomorrow and I'm sure that will work.
