We have a working exim setup at a site, where users can send and receive mails. We are trying
to setup a server
to send some warnings and errors using email
to an address that is outside
the local network.
The problem is:
The program that sends
the mails sends them using
the username it runs under and
the local hostname of
the server. This cause
the mails
to have a sender of format:
[email protected]. Exim sends these mails
to the ISP's SMTP server, which rejects
the mails as they have an illegal or unverifiable sender (the internal address).
I'm thinking I should configure exim
to rewrite
the sender when:
- sender's domain is on
the local network
- receiver's domain is outside
the local network
I tried setting some kind of rewriting in
the exim config, but did not manage
to get it
to work. I'd show what I have tried, but I ran out of time on
the last visit
to the site, and had
to revert
to the original version losing all
the changes I tried.
