Question Why can't I send messages to a remote domain
Hi there,
I rent two servers hosted by the same provider: OVH.
On server1, I use the mail command to send alert emails to my personal address and it works fine.
On server2, which is newly instaled, I tried the following command and got this answer:
Quote:
r16088:~# mail -v -s 'subject' myaddress@mydomain.fr <<< 'message'
LOG: MAIN
<= root@stock.ovh.net U=root P=local S=351
delivering 1LXeuA-0001pw-JE
R: nonlocal for myaddress@mydomain.fr
LOG: MAIN
** myaddress@mydomain.fr R=nonlocal: Mailing to remote domains not supported
r16088:~# LOG: MAIN
<= <> R=1LXeuA-0001pw-JE U=Debian-exim P=local S=1182
delivering 1LXeuA-0001py-Rl
R: system_aliases for root@stock.ovh.net
R: system_aliases for ovh@stock.ovh.net
LOG: MAIN
** ovh@stock.ovh.net <root@stock.ovh.net>: Unrouteable address
LOG: MAIN
Frozen (delivery error message)
LOG: MAIN
Completed

r16088:~#
Is there any other package that I need to install?
Thanks for your help?

Have you configured your /etc/exim/exim.conf file? (May be exim4/exim4.conf on Debian)

Thanks fpmurphy for your answer.
You're totally right, it looks like the config file are under /etc/exim4/.
So I copied the parameters from server1 to server2.
Quote:
supernova:~# cat /etc/exim4/passwd.client
*:xxxxxxxx.xxxx@xxxxx.xx:xxxxxxxxxx
supernova:~# cat /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
dc_eximconfig_configtype='satellite'
dc_other_hostnames=''
dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1'
dc_readhost='supernova.caoba.fr'
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets=''
dc_smarthost='smtp.gmail.com::465'
CFILEMODE='644'
dc_use_split_config='false'
dc_hide_mailname='true'
dc_mailname_in_oh='true'
dc_localdelivery='mail_spool'
As you can see, one file stores the address of the gmail smtp server. The other one contains my login and password (in clear text, sic!).
So it looks like now, mailx is connecting to the gmail server. But it freezes at some point. I know gmail uses a ssl something and I can't find where it is configured on server1.
Quote:
supernova:~# mail -v -s 'subject' xxxxxxxx.xxxx@xxxxx.xx <<< 'message'
LOG: MAIN
<= root@stock.ovh.net U=root P=local S=359
delivering 1LXu85-0005fD-Bw
R: smarthost for xxxxxxxx.xxxx@xxxxx.xx
supernova:~# T: remote_smtp_smarthost for xxxxxxxx.xxxx@xxxxx.xx
LOG: retry_defer MAIN
== xxxxxxxx.xxxx@xxxxx.xx R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host
Any advice so I can move one step forward?
Santiago
