Remote Domains Not Supported

All,

I am trying to send a message using the php library phpmailer from one
of our debian web servers. I configure the script to use the mail()
function, which apparently by default hands off the message to the
local MTA if at all possible. The script itself reports successful
delivery to exim, which I have confirmed by the following being found
in `/var/log/exim4/mainlog`:

"jasonj [at] ivieinc R=nonlocal: Mailing to remote domains not
supported"

It then ends up permanently rejected for delivery in `www-data`'s local
mailbox.

In this situation, how do I allow exim to send mail to any address at
any domain? Is there a particular configuration directive (as I imagine
there is) I need to be aware of?

Thank you in advance,
Jason

The nonlocal router is unique to the Debian configuration. You should
re-post this question to the Debian exim mailing list, which is
documented in /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.gz

The OP has chosen a "local mail only" feature set and is now
complaining about getting what he asked for.

The answer would be "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config" and select a
better suited profile.

Thxal for your reply, I had the same problem and google linked me to
this Mail, mailing boxes outside of this network now works perfect.

Just have to figure out now how I can mail the Exchange server in this
network.

It currently says: "2009-06-21 16:42:45 1MIOFp-0006hQ-8R **
c.gi...@gie....de: Unrouteable address"

Any Ideas?

Regards

- Christof

I don't think sequential dots are allowed in the domain of an address
(actually, I don't think you are supposed to have them in the local part
either, but that isn't generally enforced too strictly).

Or are you trying to sanitise the address? if so, don't. If you were
getting any other error you might think about replacing the address with
something [at] example (rather than an address that is very broken), but
changing the address when you are getting an error relating to the
address is going to make it pretty much impossible to diagnose.

Calling "exim -bt someone [at] example" or "exim -d+all -bt
someone [at] example" will give more information about how it is trying
to route the message.
