Hello,

whenever i create a new user aco**** this user won't get e-mail on that account

eg:

domain: pietjepuk.nl
user in DA: piet

so the email is: [email protected]

Whenever someone mails to this account the domain admin gets this mail (think because catchall is on...)

Anybody any ideas?

I'm pretty sure this is a known issue (and a pain the butt too). If a user is "switching" to your services and is hosted elsewhere but signing up with a mail account on the same domain, once that account is created anything sent from your server to that domain the server thinks it's sending it to itself.

You can add their mail.domain.com ip address in the DNS admin as well as uncheck the "user this server for local mail" or something like that.

Just remember to switch it back when they are all setup.
 
Are the sites themselves visible?

What happens when you test exim from the server command line (search for exim -bh?

hi jeff... the domains do exist.

when i check the mail send to [email protected] the to is that address, but it gets send to the root user (that's me)

will try your exim -bh thing... but will have to lookup how it works

[b/]exim -bh[/b] works great; I didn't attempt to teach you how to use it because it's well documented elsewhere.

It does require you speak smtp but there are some cookbook examples around.

Almost everything I learned about exim I learned from the exim-users list, from the exim.org website, and from the Exim book.
