Domain Literals

[Danny]

I enabled the files exim.conf dnsstuff.com but I get this error:

WARNING: One or more of your mailservers does not accept mail in the domain literal format (user@[0.0.0.0]). Mailservers are technically required RFC1123 5.2.17 to accept mail to domain literals for any of its IP addresses. Not accepting domain literals can make it more difficult to test your mailserver, and can prevent you from receiving E-mail from people reporting problems with your mailserver. However, it is unlikely that any problems will occur if the domain literals are not accepted (mailservers at many common large domains have this problem).

mail.vbulletin-hosting.com's postmaster@[151.1.233.253] response:<br /> >>> RCPT TO:<postmaster@[151.1.233.253]><br /> <<< 550 authentication required <br />


As your account postmaster or an alias?
Thank you

As dnsstuff.com tells you, it's unlikely that any problems will occur if the domain literals are not accepted.

By default our exim configuration doesn't allow host literals as it's not really important on today's Internet (years ago not all mailservers even had a domain name).

To enable host literals search your exim.conf file for the word literal and you'll find some sections you can change to allow host literals, and some documentation on how to do it.

Be sure to keep a copy of your original untouched exim.conf file so you can restore it if you make mistakes and break something.

Be sure to restart exim after you've made changes to your exim.conf file.

exim.conf the file is properly set .. the problem is here:

RCPT TO:<postmaster@[151.1.233.253]><br /> <<< 550 authentication required <br />

Can not find the account or alias postmaster@151.1.233.253 ... as it imposed?

I've tried adding in / etc / aliases, but does not work

Thank you

I believe you need to put the ip in the /etc/virtual/domains file so that exim knows it is supposed to process mail for it.

Don't Work .... :(

<postmaster@[151.1.233.253]

You are not really testing postmaster@[151.1.233.253] are you since that is the wrong format. This is correct postmaster@151.1.233.253


user@[0.0.0.0]

The [] denotes a placeholder for the real ip. You would not use them in the actual address.
