Exim4 Disable local delivery

eximlocal

I'm running exim4 as my MTA and it works great to send emails to outside emails other than my hostname.

When I send an email to my gmail via command line (sendmail forgedtuts@gmail.com, etc…) it works fine.

When I send an email to my website's domain, which is also the hostname for the server, i'm assuming it just does local delivery… which won't work because my email is received by another server (Google Apps).

So how do I disable local delivery in Exim4? dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config did not give any real results.

Run dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config, select mail sent by smarthost; no local mail and fill out the asked information.

Interesting, dialog appears to be broken on your system for some reason. Try

dpkg-reconfigure -freadline exim4-config

Can you send email from the terminal (eg mail foo@example.com -s "subject goes here" then entering an email body ending with a . on a line by itself)? Is /usr/sbin/sendmail/ a typo, or do you really have a / on the end, because that shouldn't be there.

Exim4 to relay emails

You are using "dc_relay_domains='mycompanyemail.com'" and this is the reason why you are able to send mails only to your company mail addresses. This parameter need to be configured only if you need to restrict email delivery and you need to leave it empty to fix your issue.

Actually, the dc_relay_nets is the parameter, that restricts the relay IPs.
