I have recently notice this ..


Assume :
I have a domain name sticked to DA admin account which is myapple.com

The email that admin is receiving should be admin@myapple.com

right?


And the problem here comes :

When I set the primary hostname of exim to : mail.myapple.com

Any email send to admin@myapple.com will be rejected and give this error :

"remote host address is the local host: retry timeout exceeded"

when I comment out the primary hostname, admin@myapple.com can receive mail again!


It only happen on default-email, which login with "username" instead of "username@myapple.com".


I hope you will understand what I am saying... :D

Hello,

Your hostname probably doesn't exist in the /etc/virtual/domains file. Please use this link for details:
