Separate mail server - exim 4.70

Hi

I install exim 4.70 mail server. It is separated from dns and web server.
In dns server, mx and mail record refers to mail server.
But when i try to send mail this error appears:

local_part=majid domain=domain.com
checking domains
domain.com in "@"? no (end of list)
domain.com in "! +local_domains"? yes (end of list)
calling dnslookup router
dnslookup router called for majid [at] domain
domain = domain.com
DNS lookup of domain.com (MX) succeeded
DNS lookup of mail.domain.com (AAAA) gave NO_DATA
returning DNS_NODATA
DNS lookup of mail.domain.com (A) succeeded

Two things:

1. This isn't "domain.com" - please do not obfuscate like this, it can
make debugging very hard.
2. Put your domain into the "local_domains" domainlist. Presently your
Exim configuration thinks the domain is not local, but the MX points to
the same machine (hence the error).

This means "the local hostname only":

You need to add the domain you want to handle into that list, perhaps
after reading further into the docs detailed above about the syntax of
domain lists.

No, it found your local domain in the _negated_ list of local domains -
that is "not a local domain".

> but i try to locate for "local_domains" and returns nothing

You already found it. You need to amend the "local_domains = " line.
