| Post subject: | Exim4 with literal domains |
I'm setting up a new personal email site with a debian server in the cloud. I don't want DNS pointing to it yet, because I need to move stuff from the old server, (of the same name), to the new server. I need to be able to test the new server using just the IP number. Despite what Exim4 config files says about automatic configuration, uncommenting the line MAIN_ALLOW_DOMAIN_LITERALS generates a faulty config file with this error: "Exim configuration error in line 444 of /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp: router name missing" Does anyone have exim4 set up to allow literal domains? Thx |

Why not just setup a local HOSTS file with the IP/DOMAIN NAME for testing. When it's ready, then change the DNS. |

That works to allow mail exchange between users on the same server. However, I want to forward all the emails from the old server to the new one. If I change DNS so that it points to the new IP, how do I access the old server? It would be simple if I could accept mail as user@[<ip_number]. |
