I'm hoping some one can help me out here.

My Welcome emails are being sent but not to all domains. I can receive them at a Gmaill account I have but not at another account I have and use as my primary email address.

Here's a dump from /var/log/exim/mainlog:

matt@thisdomain.com F=<diradmin@host.domain.com> R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp: SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<matt@thisdomain.com>: host thisdomain.com [ip address]: 550-Verification failed for <diradmin@host.domain.com>\n550-unrouteable mail domain "host.domain.com"\n550 Sender verify failed
2005-12-12 22:14:10 1Em0cE-00077D-Qi <= <> R=1Em0c1-00074N-MG U=mail P=local S=2960 T="Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender" from <> for diradmin@host.domain.com

And in there is where I believe the problem lies. It looks to me like the receiving mail host is trying to verify the identity of the sender but it can't so it is not accepting the message.

What do I need to do to fix this? Anyone know?

All help greatly appreciated.

Create an alias for the sender to a real email account.

I'm almost following you Jeff.

Do you mean for the account diradmin@host.domain.com (as listed in the mainlog dump) create a real email account such as blah@domain.com?? :confused:

Sorry I can't quite figure out the missing bits. Are you able to elaborate please please please :D

Many thanks,
Matt.

FIXED FIXED FIXED !!!!

Jeff's mention of an alias threw me off track.

I fixed this by simply creating a 'Forwarder' for this account diradmin@host.domain.com to forward to admin@domain.com and it worked straight away. :D :D

Go into your User environment and go to the email options. Then select the Create Forwarder option and away you go.

Thanks to all who helped.

Sorry; I wasn't thinking as clearly as I should have been; forwards are handled internally as aliases.
