Exim: virtual domains nor TLS/SSL work

[Anonymous]

I recently installed Exim and actually got it working to a degree similar to that of Apple Mail Server SMTP, in that I can do basic mail relaying and SMTP authentication. However, the two things I really need to work, virtual domains and SSL, are not working. I followed the steps in the Setting up Exim 4.10 for OSX 10.2 Server for virtual domians, but it does not work. What i find odd is that we generate our virtual domain host names in /etc/mail (ie /etc/mail/afp548.com) but the code that goes in the exim configure file:

  virtual:
    driver = redirect
    domains = dsearch;/etc/mail/virtual
    data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/mail/virtual/$domain}}
    no_more

seems to indicate it will look for the the virtual domain in /etc/mail/virtual (so i would assumei would make /etc/mail/virtual/afp548.com). If I don’t have the virtual folder, Exim in debug mode says that the directory cannot be found. If I add the virtual/ directory, with the afp548.com file, for example, in there, it still fails. The degugging code gives me the following:

#....After some other stuff like authentication....

What looks like it is doing here is verifying the SENDER, not the recipent in the virtual router section. Keep in mind “admin” is the recipent, “sales” is the sender. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

Also, SSL. I’m getting the “SMTP Server is not accepting TLS/SSL connections on port 25” even though i complied Exim with TLS enabled following your directions exactly. There is nothing for tls in the configure file either… Any insight on this as well would be great.

Thanks VERY much again in advance.

Ok, in /etc/mail/virtual, i have two files, pacificswell.com, and sandpiperdebs.org.
Within the sandpiperdebs.org file, I have

However, i feel this is insignifigant because even if i send a message to ANYONE else, even to an address outside of my server, it fails in the same way as shown in the code above. In my exim configure file, I only added to the Router section, as follows:

dnslookup:
  driver = dnslookup
  domains = ! +local_domains
  transport = remote_smtp
  ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
  no_more


# The remaining routers handle addresses in the local domain(s).

virtual:
  driver = redirect
  domains = dsearch;/etc/mail/virtual
  data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/mail/virtual/$domain}}
  no_more

system_aliases:
  driver = redirect
  allow_fail
  allow_defer
  data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
# user = exim
  file_transport = address_file
  pipe_transport = address_pipe

userforward: 
  driver = redirect
  check_local_user
  file = $home/.forward
  no_verify
  no_expn
  check_ancestor
# allow_filter
  file_transport = address_file
  pipe_transport = address_pipe
  reply_transport = address_reply


# This router matches local user mailboxes.

localuser:
  driver = accept
  check_local_user
  transport = local_delivery

With that virtual section in there, all mail fails to be routed through the Exim SMTP server, but with it removed, it works fine (to non virtual domains). Please tell me if this helps and/or if you need more information. Thanks again.

Btw- i will play with SSL/TLS later after i get this working.

1) Yes

2) I’m not familiar with the wildcard lookups and where i would define them. Please let me know what i have to do for these lookups.

But let me just reemphasize something while I have the chance. Whenever I enter that virtual tag, all out going mail thru the SMTP server is refused. As in the debugging code above, it seems to try to verify the senders domain in the virtual router. It is weird to me, but maybe that is the correct operation? Well, let me know and thanks for all of your help thus far.
