Mail to @web.de

Hi,

my exim3 works fine for month under Debian-Woody.

But now: Exim do not deliver mail to 'web.de'. There is no dial in.

After a Day I get this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Von: Mail Delivery System[SMTP:Mailer-Daemon@[my server]]
Gesendet: Dienstag, 3. August 2004 10:10
An: [my return-address]
Betreff: Warning: message 1BrXtc-0000hp-00 delayed 24 hours

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).

A message that you sent has not yet been delivered to one or more of its
recipients after more than 24 hours on the queue on [my server].

The message identifier is: 1BrXtc-0000hp-00
The subject of the message is: Bild 6 von 7
The date of the message is: Mon, 02 Aug 2004 08:10:12 +0000

The address to which the message has not yet been delivered is:

[Name]@web.de

No action is required on your part. Delivery attempts will continue for
some time, and this warning may be repeated at intervals if the message
remains undelivered. Eventually the mail delivery software will give up,
and when that happens, the message will be returned to you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem depends on the address. I can't find the string 'web.de' in
the config-file. I have no idea.

Can somebody help me?

Regards!
Konrad

This means that you have send a mail to [name]@web.de. However Exim is not
able to deliver the message. The mail address can be incorrect, or the mail
server web.de is nog accepting your mail. If the last is thrue you have to
consider to deliver mail bij relaying it over the mailserver of your IDP.

What does your logfiles tell you -> /var/log/exim/*, f.e. mainlog
or look at the mail more carefully in /var/spool/exim/input; there sits your
mailqueue.

Yes, WEB.DE does not accept mails from dial-in lines. If the OP has set
up his exim on such a line, he has to use the ISP's MTA to reach web.de.

Hi.

Think your problem may already be solved,
but there could other reading this with
same problem.

Try to send mails to web.de accounts over an other mailserver
like the one your isp set up as mailrelay.
If you have an own system (not dialup server) try that as
$ISP-MAILSERVER


part of exim.conf:
---
################################################## ####################
# ROUTERS CONFIGURATION #
# Specifies how remote addresses are handled #
################################################## ####################
# ORDER DOES MATTER #
# A remote address is passed to each in turn until it is accepted. #
################################################## ####################

web_de:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "^web\.de $ISP-MAILSERVER bydns_a"
---


Same problems are expected by many systems that use rbl to detect spammers.
---
t_online:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "^t-online\.(de|at|com)|t-dialin\.net$ $ISP-MAILSERVER bydns_a"

aol:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "^aol\.(de|at|com) $ISP-MAILSERVER bydns_a"
