---------------------------------------------

It has been like that for ages. I changed exim's port yet it still shows that.. What in the hell could be wrong?!

The topic shows hotmail. But in the error log, the email is to a yahoo.com domain?!

Also are you sure the receiving address is correct?

lol.. sorry.. What I meant to say in the post is that it also does it for @hotmail.com

That what I showed is the most recent :)

What does the maillog, eximlog or panic log (for exim) show? Are you having trouble with any other addresses? Finally, what are the complete headers or routing information? Did you try again ahd have it work and can you telnet into Yahoo's mail server on poer 25 and get a HELO?

Any idea?

It almost looks like it's trying to resolve Yahoo.com locally. What IP do you get when you ping yahoo.com from within a local shell session on that system? Check your /etc/resolv.conf file to see what name servers you're using. Are you running a name server on the system? If so, add the first 'nameserver' like with your local IP or 127.0.0.1, restart named if you have to and try pinging yahoo.com again.

domain 1337host.com
search 1337host.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 216.180.225.11
nameserver 216.180.225.12


My main server IP is, however, 216.180.225.10

So what should I add to it to make it correct?

Oh and when I ping yahoo, it resolves to a remote IP (64.58.79.230)

.10 is probably your NIC's Eth0 IP. The name servers aren't using the first eth0 IP, which is good. That all looks fine.

That all seems fine too. Odd.

Yeah.. and I am running exim on port 35.

Well, going back to my original questions;

What does the maillog, eximlog or panic log (for exim) show? Are you having trouble with any other addresses? Did you try again and have it work or fail again? Have you made any changes to any files recently? Have you confirmed that "to" address is legitimate and alive?

You mean 25, (typo)?

For some reason @hotmail.com emails are now working.. just the yahoo one that wont.


Heh.. :dunce: where are those logs?

NO I mean 35.. was running 25.. we also run 35

35? I'm not familair with what would be running on port 35? Why did you move it? Maybe yahoo is trying to ELHO you and can't contact port 25? Hey, anything's possible. :-)

The logs you can see (the different one's) listed in the /var/log directory. They will be large (likely), so use grep/egrep, more, etc. wisely.

Nah we had problems on port 25. Once we moved it to port 35 hotmail started working but yahoo continued to be a bitch.
