Problem with exim.conf, Webmail cannot send mail to external domain

[winggundamth]

My environment is
- FreeBSD 7.1
- CustomBuild 1.2.11

I check status in DA and everything is fine.

I try with ./build exim_conf and have a problem that atmail (and all webmail) cannot send email out except internal domain and showing Error: 550 "Unknown User".

Solution: I have to edit exim.conf from


accept domains = +local_domains
endpass
message = "Unknown User"
verify = recipient

to (just comment line verify = recipient)


accept domains = +local_domains
endpass
message = "Unknown User"
#verify = recipient

and then it can send email to external domain without problem.

I don't know is this bug on CustomBuild 1.2 or I do something wrong. But I think ./build exim_conf command should config exim to send email out without edit exim.conf anymore.

I don't know either; but here's what verify = recipient does on outgoing email according to exim documentation:

For an arbitrary remote domain, the only action 'verify = recipient' Exim
can do is to see if it could route mail to the remote host. It has no
view on the users that domain may host for.
