[solved] exim not delivering mailman messages

2011-03-14 22:15:18 refused connection from [64.20.227.133] (tcp wrappers)

trying to get exim setup and getting the above error in my logs. anyone have any idea what could cause this? I've done a bit of googling but no luck so far..

Re: [solved] exim not delivering mailman messages

what do your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny look like?

Re: [solved] exim not delivering mailman messages

I'm hardly an exim person, but I think you need to add that IP to your "relay_from_hosts" entry in the conf file (I don't remember the details but it probably only has 127.0.0.1 right now)

You might want to change the thread title to entice some exim gurus :-)

Re: [solved] exim not delivering mailman messages

ok fixed that, I specifed /var/lib/mailman as my mailman home in exim.conf instead of /usr/lib/mailman.

now I'm getting this:

Re: [solved] exim not delivering mailman messages

ok got it fixed.. " exim -d+route -bt chatter-cafe@ccsf-lug.org" told me a lot more info

the arch package installs mailman stuff to /usr/lib/mailman as well as /var/lib/mailman and I think the official docs assumes they aren't split and are in a single folder.
