Exim receiving problem - error 550

[Mr. Brightside]

I've finally got around to setting up a mail server on my Debian Etch box today, using this as my guide: http://koivi.com/exim4-config/

I can connect through Outlook via IMAP fine to check for new mail, so Courier is working fine. However I've got one "minor" problem in that Exim isn't allowing any incoming mail! I sent a test message from my G-Mail account and got this delivery failure message:

PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550 relay not permitted

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks, null

 

[Mr. Brightside]

Nope, 250 accepted. I think I might have unknowingly fixed the original problem at some point earlier before starting this thread, but mail is still not getting through; presumably it's accepted by Exim but then getting lost somewhere in the system.

220 server.mydomain.tld ESMTP Exim 4.63 Sun, 15 Oct 2006 18:47:12 +0100
mail from:<[email protected]>
250 OK
rcpt to:<[email protected]>
250 Accepted

I also tried this on the server:

exim4 -v [email protected]
From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Subject: Testing exim

Testing exim
.

And the above message appeared in my inbox, checked from Outlook via IMAP. Not sure what use that is but thought I'd mention it.

Thanks for the help, null

Thanks again, null

Yes it's installed, and all set up as described by the guide, however, it seems it doesn't want to run properly - calling /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon restart returns this:

Stopping ClamAV daemon: clamd/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon: line 75: kill: (-29261) - No such process
failed!
Starting ClamAV daemon: clamd.

If I then try restarting it again, immediately after, it returns the same.

Thanks for the help, null

Got this which looks like something to do with Clam:

clamav 29100 0.0 0.5 5420 1356 ? Ss 14:08 0:00 /usr/bin/freshclam -p /var/run/clamav/freshclam.pid -d --quiet

That right or not?

Thanks, null

[Mr. Brightside]

Anything in your logs?

See edit

 

[Mr. Brightside]

I tried that but it didn't work so I just nuked the entire setup (i.e. removed config files aswell as removing the packages) and started again from scratch; it seems to be working now - the only other change is that my MX records now point to venus.piggott.me.uk instead of piggott.me.uk.

Thanks for all the help Garp
