None of the accounts on my machine are able to send to a yahoo, hotmail or aol address. Either through Neomail or relaying.
Messages bounce with:

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following addres(es) failed:

[email protected]
unrouteable mail domain &yahoo.com&

I have Exim running on port 25 and 26. I just upgraded to CP 5, but it was happening before I upgraded.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Oh, I really meant &Have you touched your exim.conf&?

FYI, my exim.conf files are 18386 bytes long.

Your name server seems to know where Yahoo's mail servers are, so it must be Exim that is failing to function properly. Maybe it's skipping some step, and a corrupt config file might be the reason for that.

Run this and tell us what you get, maybe someone can shed some light:
# exim -bt -d11 [email protected]

Ok, this is very strange. I thought it was all of the domains on the server having this problem, but it appears to be just this one.

Here's what I got on the one having the problem:

Exim version 3.36 debug level 11 uid=32087 gid=32089
Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: DB 2.4.14: (6/2/98)
[AnyUser]@yahoo.com is undeliverable:
unrouteable mail domain &yahoo.com&

Yeah... is yahoo.com actually in your /etc/localdomains file? I don't imagine that a subdomain would throw this off, so hopefully a user creating a subdomain like yahoo.com.mydomain.com wouldn't cause Exim to identify yahoo.com as a local domain.

SBrad, by any chance does that user have a big mailing list? (wild guess)[/quote:c7563a4d67]
No, it's when I just send single emails. Ie, &Welcome customer&, etc.

I was having a similar problem and it ended up being that I wasn't using a proper hostname for my server. Yahoo and Hotmail were both undeliverable until I gave the machine a proper hostname. Maybe this will help you as well?
