No route to host - mail error
A linux box is supposed to emailing the results of backups to the windows exchange server, but nothing arrives. it never has, as the muppet who set up the Windows domain knew nothing about linux. I know only slightly more than that...

pretty sure sendmail is the daemon running to handle mail. it shows in ps -elf.
/var/mail/maillog contains the same general line, repeating:

Code:
sendmail[3893]: q6I6gwfs011345: to=<username@live-domain.com.au>, ctladdr=<root@linux.live-domain.com.au> (0/0), delay=4+22:59:07, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=10830308, relay=mail.live-domain.com.au., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: mail.live-domain.com.au.: No route to host

mail.live-domain.com.au is the external MX record. We don't really want this server to get out to the internet, no need. The firewall is most likely blocking it, but it shouldn't need to go through the gateway.

Internal i.p. address is 10.45.1.11, which is pingable, and i can telnet to it.

Is it just a matter of reconfiguring the settings to point to the internal i.p for the exchange server? It will never need to get out to the big bad internet.

Where are these settings? sendmail.cf doesn't seem to be the place?

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

pdebuild-user-mode-linux

pdebuild-user-mode-linux(1)					     pbuilder					       pdebuild-user-mode-linux(1)

NAME

       pdebuild-user-mode-linux - pbuilder-user-mode-linux way of doing debuild

SYNOPSIS

       pdebuild-user-mode-linux [pdebuild-user-mode-linux options] -- [pbuilder-user-mode-linux options]

DESCRIPTION

       A  convenience  program	for  pbuilder-user-mode-linux which invokes pbuilder after obtaining appropriate root privilege in a Debian source
       directory.  One must be inside the source tree containing the debian directory, in order to make it work.

PDEBUILD OPTIONS

       --buildsourceroot [fakeroot]
	      The command used to gain root privilege for invoking dpkg-buildpackage

       --auto-debsign

	      Invoke debsign at the end of pdebuild process.

       --debsign-k [key-id]

	      Pass -k option to debsign to specify which keyid to sign.

       --buildresult [Directory for build results]

	      The place which build result is stored.

       --configfile [Extra config file to use]

	      The configuration file is used, but not passed on to pbuilder-user-mode-linux.

       --debbuildopts [options to pass to dpkg-buildpackage]

	      The space-delimited list of options are passed to dpkg-buildpackage.  This option appends to pbuilder option --debbuildopts and  may
	      also be used to reset the list of options by passing the empty string.

       --use-pdebuild-internal
	      Uses a different implementation of pdebuild, which calls clean and build inside the chroot, using bind-mounts.

	      pdebuild-internal tries to run debian/rules clean inside the chroot.  To achieve the goal, the working directory is passed on inside
	      the chroot, in the form of bind-mounting and debuild is run.

	      This option will not protect the working directory and its parent directories from the build scripts.

       -- [pbuilder options]

	      After the -- symbol, an arbitrary number of pbuilder options can be specified.  See  pbuilder-user-mode-linux.1  for  full  list	of
	      options.

	      There is an exception that --buildresult needs to be specified as pdebuild option before the -- to be effective.

FILES

       /etc/pbuilderrc
	      The configuration file for pbuilder-user-mode-linux, used in pdebuild-user-mode-linux.

       /usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilderrc
	      The default configuration file for pbuilder-user-mode-linux, used in pdebuild-user-mode-linux.

       ${HOME}/.pbuilderrc
	      Configuration file for pbuilder-user-mode-linux, used in pdebuild-user-mode-linux, overrides what is written in /etc/pbuilderrc
