Re: [PLUG] exim4 and HELO host
|
Sorry can't help you with exim, but in sendmail for instance you need to
MASQUERADE_AS, and masquerade the envelope as well. I masqeurade as the
external facing gateway, and any returning/incoming e-mail gets directly
shafted to the internal mail server. Also, in sendmail, I need to
expose_user root to get any root e-mail masqueraded as well.
Hope those search terms help find what you need within exim.
Regards,
Dan W.
