|
|
Hi everyone,
This is my first post here :)
Here's my problem:
I have installed Exim4 (send-only) on my Ubuntu 10.04
So far so good the server sends e-mails to accounts in GMAIL or other mail providers.
I have several domains and it also sends e-mail to them. These domains are all set up with the Google MX Records.
The problem is when I send an e-mail from my primary domain to myself it doesn't send it to Google. It just appears in /var/mail/xxxxx
However if I send an e-mail to the same account from outside the server (i.e from my personal e-mail) it gets to Google.
I've tried changing the hostname to a full www.example.com instead of example.com
I can paste config files if needed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you. |

It would seem to me that you have added the domain that doesn't work as expected as a local domain... (However that looks in exim...)
If that doesn't make sense, maybe you can share the exim configuration? |

Absolutely. Which file is it exactly ?
In /etc/exim4 there is:
Code:
update-exim4.conf.conf
conf.d
exim4.conf.template
passwd.client

Resolved.
When I set up the exim I told him the domain was "local domain".
So Exim was always sending the mails locally.
I just had to run the config again:
Code: dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config |
