[CLUE-Tech] smtp w/exim on debian

[Randy Arabie]

Reply to:

I'm planning on moving my email server from my old RH box to my 
debian box.  Debian installs exim as the MTA by default.  So, I've
been working on the config.  It is much more simpler than tring to 
config sendmail.  But, it is 'new' to me.

This morning, I switched my ipnat config and started sending the smtp
ports to my debian box instead of the RH box.  I sent some test messages
from my yahoo account that neither bounced nor arrived (at least not yet, 
4 hours later).

To check, I sent another email from my RH box and it did arrive.  I also
sent email from the debian box to my yahoo account.  That worked, too.

Next I did a telnet to port 25, from outside my domain (i.e. through my 
firewall) and was able to hit the debian box on port 25.

I'm stumped.  I've switched my inbound smtp ports back to my RH box, and 
have .forward files sending the email over to my debian box.

Anyone have a clue on this?  Where did those email messages go?  Or, why 
didn't the mail get through?  I couldn't find any errors in my mail.* logs.
