Hi all,

I had a big problem I did not figured out. It is solved, but I have questions about the matter.

It's about Exim 4.72/CentOS 6.

Connecting to Exim via "localhost" is denies relay Connecting to Exim via 127.0.0.1 accepts the relay "localhost" is in the local_domains domainlists "localhost" is resolving to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts

Why?

[mihamina@recette53 ~]$ rpm -aq | grep exim exim-4.72-4.el6.x86_64
