Hi Gordon! Thank you very much for your answer! There was a thread earlier: http://users.exim4u.org/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=user_nodes&user=4361… William wanted to do something similar and also achieved it. For the spamlist problem I have there are two solutions: 1. Use another IP from Exim4U, which you say that MULTI_IP will solve. I probably need to upgrade to newer version, because I don't have the option to assign an IP to the domains. Do you know why? 2. Use Exim4U for receiving and temporarily set a smarthost for it, so that when it receives an outgoing mail it then sends it to another smarthost, thus I am hoping that that smarthost will be checked only for spamlists. Can this be easily achieved? Thank you, Daniel > I don't understand your question.

Hi Guys! I would like to use Exim4U server for only receiving mail and use a smarthost for outgoing mail. How can this be achieved? The smarthost does not require authentication, but I would like the users to authenticate the same way as they did with an original installation. Thank you, Daniel

outgoing SMTP IP

Hi Everyone! I have an old Exim4U installation that has been serving me well for the past few years. Recently we got on spamlists frequently. We can tell all the time what happened (weak passwords), but delisting is hard and slow, thus I would need to be able to set another IP address temporarily for outgoing mail. With this I can solve the problem temporarily, wait for the original IP to get delisted and then set it back. How can I achieve this the easiest way? I have another IP already on eth1 configured with another hostname and reverse also. Thank you in advance! Daniel

Permission denied: cannot create /domain.tld/postmaster/Maildir

Hi Guys, Tearing my hair out here trying to solve this one. I know it's supposed to be a permissions issue but bear with me first please. variable.php: $mailroot = "/home/exim4u/mail/"; Permissions are set to exim (UID / GID 93) for the above directory: drwxr-xr-x 3 exim exim 4096 Oct 28 13:32 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Oct 28 13:32 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 exim exim 4096 Oct 31 12:25 mail I create a domain eg domain.tld. System UID and GID are set to 93. Domain mail directory appears as /home/exim4u/mail/ which I believe is correct as it should then create /home/exim4u/mail/domain.tld for the mailboxes. However, it doesn't create the folder and this is what I see in exim/main.log: 2013-10-31 13:35:55 1VbqXb-0004fN-Is == /domain.tld/postmaster/Maildir <postmaster(a)domain.tld> R=virtual_domains T=virtual_delivery defer (13): Permission denied: cannot create /domain.tld/postmaster/Maildir I've been struggling to figure out why it's not creating /home/exim4u/mail/domain.tld with no success, even manually creating the domain.tld directory under /home/exim4u/mail. I then decided to create /domain.tld off the root since that appears on the surface to be what it's actually trying to do! Guess what, the mail got delivered and the postmaster directory created as /domain.tld/postmaster/Maildir. Why is it trying to create the directory off the root and not under the correct mailroot directory?
