Hi all:
OK, here is the situation. I have an Old Red hat
Linux 7 machine which
is running exim as a mail server. This machine also acts
as out firewall.
I am moving the mail services from that firewall machine
onto a new
Red Hat 8 machine running sendmail.
I had the MX record changed to point to the correct IP
address of the
new sendmail server. This works OK. A traceroute command
points you to
the correct place.
I can send and receive internal mail from and to the new
account I set up on
the RH8 sendmail server. No problem. I can send mail to
the outside world.
No problem. The moment I try to receive email from an
outside address,
the message seems to disappear into cyberspace. I
simply don't get those
messages. I simply can't figure out whay this is
happening. The firewall / old mail
server responds to the outside world first before the new
server does, so I made
sure that I configured Exim to only allow relaying for the
domain to which the new
mail account belongs. I made sure to remove the domain
from the local domains file
on the old server. I also made sure that the local domains
file on the new mail server
was updated correctly. No luck.
Does anyone have a vague idea as to what I can check for?
is there a way I can
check the old mail server for what could be happening
?
Regards, Jason
to the outside world before the new
