Version: 4.50-5
Severity: normal
I have just installed a Debian unstable machine and configured exim4 for
"mail sent by smarthost; no local mail". This has two weird effects
(which I don't think are the same as bug 297841): (Throughout this
message, I have replaced my domain with example.com.)
1. Mail to real-andrew is not delivered locally; instead, exim tries to
deliver to real-andrew@example.com. Since root is aliased to
real-andrew, this means that system messages are not delivered. The
debconf questions imply that real- mail should be delivered locally
even with "mail sent by smarthost; no local mail".
2. Mail to andrew@localhost fails with "451 Temporary local problem".
The log message looks bizarre:
2005-04-15 13:12:40 H=localhost [127.0.0.1]:33800 I=[127.0.0.1]:25 U=andrew F=<w@whitehouse.gov> temporarily rejected RCPT <andrew@localhost>: error in redirect data: domain missing or malformed in "andrew@"
I don't know where "andrew@" came from. I think that @localhost
mail should be delivered locally even with "mail sent by smarthost;
no local mail", especially since that's what fetchmail uses.
However, even if you want to reject such mail, the error status and
log message should probably made more clear.
Andrew
