Re: [BackupPC-users] email not working

There are are least two ways to solve this:

To specify buckeyeusd.org as a local domain, run:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

On the third screen or so you'll be instructed:

Please enter a semicolon-separated list of recipient domains for which this machine should consider itself the final destination. These domains are commonly called 'local domains'. The local hostname and 'localhost' are always added to the list given here.

Entering buckeyeusd.org here would cause all mail sent to that domain to be delivered locally.

If that's not want you want, try this:

hostname -f

That should give you your fully qualified domain name. Supply that instead of buckeyeusd.org to BackupPC and you should be good. From your log snippet it looks like your FQDN is backupserver.oms.local.

This is from the Exim4 logs...it looks like it thinks my email is Non-Local. How can I change it to local? My mail server and BackupPC server are both inside my networks. Do you think its because I put a domain on my backup server and should of left it as "workgroup"?

Sendmail or postfix also needs to be installed.

If one or the other is, then you'll want to check the system logs, I'm
not familiar enough with Debian, you could probably find them in the
/var/log or /var/log/mail.

In my Mandriva setup it shows up at /var/log/mail/info.log
