Re: [BackupPC-users] email not working

Well, if I put egonzales@ backupserver.oms.local then how would I get the email if my email address is egonzales AT buckeyeusd DOT org? I tried it anyways and it still says its unroutable. What I got is a exchange 2007 email server so I need the backup server to send the email through that. I do got a few appliances that already do that so I know my email server will allow it. My email server is not on the same subnet or domain as my backup server. if someone has time I can use a walk through of the exim4 config screens.

I'm not an Exim expert by any means, but I've wrangled with it a few times, with some success. It seems like the easiest solution, though, is to change the delivery email address. If you want local delivery, shouldn't you tell BackupPC to direct mail to egonzalez AT backupserver DOT oms.local?

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
