how to verify if my exim4 can receive mails

[Jumping]

I have two mal system , one is exim4  and other is MD. The MD acts as
primary smtp, and the exim4 acts as second smtp.
The exim4 can send out mails.

====================================================
When use http://www.checkdns.net/quickcheck.aspx?domain=showme.hk&detailed=1to
test it. I got follow :

CheckDNS.NET tests mail-servers
  Domain showme.hk has 2 mail-servers.
  Checking mail server (PRI=0) mail.showme.hk [203.98.188.29]
  Mail server mail.showme.hk[203.98.188.29] answers on port 25
  <<< 220 mtelsl.com ESMTP MDaemon 9.5.6; Wed, 24 Sep 2008 14:55:58 +0800
  >>> HELO www.checkdns.net
  <<< 250 mtelsl.com Hello www.checkdns.net, pleased to meet you
  >>> MAIL FROM: <dnscheck@...>
  <<< 250 <dnscheck@...>, Sender ok
  >>> RCPT TO: <postmaster@...>
  <<< 250 <postmaster@...>, Recipient ok
  >>> QUIT
  Mail server mail.showme.hk [203.98.188.29] accepts mail for showme.hk
  Checking mail server (PRI=5) mail2.showme.hk [59.188.15.185]
  Mail server mail2.showme.hk[59.188.15.185] answers on port 25
  <<< 220 showme ESMTP Exim 4.63 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 14:56:21 +0800
  >>> HELO www.checkdns.net
  <<< 250 showme Hello www.checkdns.net [195.60.98.253]
  >>> MAIL FROM: <dnscheck@...>
  <<< 250 OK
  >>> RCPT TO: <postmaster@...>
  <<< 550 relay not permitted
  Probably mail server does not accept mail for showme.hk and recognizes
this as relay attempt.
  Some of your MX do not work properly

========================
 tail -f /var/log/exim4/rejectlog

2008-09-23 23:30:41 H=(www.checkdns.net) [195.60.98.253] F=<

permitted

=======================================================================

If I add 195.60.98.253 to the dc_relay_nets in update-exim4.conf.conf, the
test returns ok.

How Can I Enable my Exim4 could accept this type test without modify
dc_relay_nets ?

Thanks your help.

This sounds like a debian based setup, I don't believe
update-exim4.conf.conf is stock exim.

The default config files that ship with exim have a "domainlist
relay_to_domains =" line which defines which domains you will accept
mail for even though they aren't local.

If your distro has replaced the standard config files with their own
special way of doing things, then you might have better luck talking to
them.

Yes, I use debian. Defaultly the exim4 debian package put
update-exim4.conf.conf in /etc/exim4/.

Do your means  set "domainlist relay_to_domains = showme.hk"  ? I have set
/etc/mailname as "showme.hk".

If you are using something like the default config, yes, but it is just
a variable that is then referenced in the routers. If debian has changed
the routers then just setting the variables won't do anything.

I assume mailname is another debianism, I don't know what it is meant to do.

If you want answers from this list, you will need to provide your actual
config. You can't assume that everyone is familiar with all of your
distro specific files.

Or alternatively you could talk to someone from your distro's support,
they will be better informed about all the special things that they have
setup.

Anyway, thanks a lot.

You might want to read the documentation that came with your package,
for example the man page for update-exim4.conf.conf.

|      dc_other_hostnames
|              is used to build the local_domains list, together  with  ?local?
|              host?.   This  is  the  list  of  domains for which this machine
|              should consider itself the final destination. The  local_domains
|              list ends up in the macro MAIN_LOCAL_DOMAINS.
