Im having a problem with a new server I setup with system messages, I have 3 other servers that works fine, I receive every night:

From: Cron Daemon Cron <[email protected]> /scripts/upcp

But in the new server I receive it bad:

From: Mail Delivery System Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender

The contact manager at whm is configured as the same as the other servers. Dont know why is refusing the message, please see the bounce below.

My new server is called server.domain.net and all system messages should be sent to other address in other server called [email protected]

The only difference I found in the servers is that in this one the smtp tweak setting is enable. This feature can be causing this????

Thank you!

Im having the same issue, Im using Centos 5.0/Fedore 5.0

How to correct disable this rule in exim.conf:

# Reject mail to addresses at the $primary_hostname
# Spammers like to send to [email protected]$primary_hostname or [email protected]$primary_hostname for some odd reason

deny message = You do not have sufficient privileges to send mail to this address. Please authenticate and try again.
domains = $primary_hostname

The option for this is in WHM > Exim Configuration Editor and is called

** BL: Reject mail sent directly to addresses at the primary hostname from
remote servers. [?]

If you have this option checked then it will add the deny_message in exim.conf
to not allow email to the hostname.

I'm sorry to reply to an old thread but I'm having this problem. All mail is rejected when sent to [email protected] but I dont have this option enabled..

Reject mail sent directly to addresses of the primary hostname from remote servers.

I've reset the exim config on all my servers but this problem still happens.

The rejection message is as follows...

2010-05-11 13:40:27 remote host address is the local host: server.mydomain.net (while verifying <[email protected]> from host mail.server.net [x.x.x.x])
2010-05-11 13:40:27 H=mail.server.net [x.x.x.x] F=<> temporarily rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: remote host address is the local host
I'm not sure about the "while verifying" part of that message either - because we have sender verify disabled too.
