You would have to run exim foregrounded, which sucks. -bdf -v would do what you want, but it's easier to read the error mesage: ** xxx@craigslist.org - address that failed SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO: - stage where error code received host mx3.craigslist.org [130.94.251.51]: (said) 504 <localhost>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname You are saying 'EHLO localhost' when you should be saying 'EHLO purple.com'. I think your hostname stuff is not set up correctly. What does `hostname; hostname -f` return - it should return your short hostname followed by an internet addressable fqdn. If not, fix that first. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | QOTD: "I may not be able to walk, but | | steve@lobefin.net | I drive from the sitting position." | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
