Here is my log_selector which gives me almost all details I need. log_selector = -retry_defer -skip_delivery +all_parents +arguments +received_sender +received_recipients +smtp_connection +smtp_syntax_error +delivery_size +incoming_interface +smtp_protocol_error +subject +tls_peerdn -host_lookup_failed -rejected_header exim -bh doesn't simulate an issue with their server. It simulates everything about your server communicating with theirs to help you know whether you are the one hindering things or the issue is elsewhere.

Odhiambo,
I will test when I get a chance. Very busy these last few days and the next couple.
I am not sure that truly simulates an issue with their smtp server, just mine. But I will try it anyway.
Anybody have input on whether the logging should now be more verbose?
Thx!
Helmut

So you know their server IP?
exim -d -bh their_server_IP_here , then simulate an SMTP session to see what happens!
If there is nothing indicating that you block their IP(s), and if there is nothing showing you don't block them at the firewall or elsewhere, let us know.

Hi Helmut,
just a wild guess, but maybe these other servers are blacklisted somewhere on your server (e.g. in hosts.deny, or by some firewall)? If you don't see these hosts anywhere in your exim logs, I would guess that their connections don't reach Exim at all.
Granted, I don't really know how to log connection attempts though.

Guys,
I am having some issues with particular servers sending emails to my server. Those other email server administrators just tell their users (who I found out from) that it is my email server problem and they do not want to help. I can send to them no problem, but not receive from them and zero log entires of their server contacting mine at all.
I saw an entry that enabled verbose logging in my exim.conf:
log_selector = +address_rewrite +all_parents +arguments +connection_reject +delay_delivery +delivery_size +dnslist_defer +incomi
ng_interface +incoming_port +lost_incoming_connection +queue_run +received_sender +received_recipients +retry_defer +sender_on_d
elivery +size_reject +skip_delivery +smtp_confirmation +smtp_connection +smtp_protocol_error +smtp_syntax_error +subject +tls_ci
pher1 +tls_peerdn
but my logs look no more verbose than before. Any help?
any other ideas to track the incoming connection, or determine if there actually is one at all (i.e. maybe it is some failure before they even try to connect)?
Thx!
Helmut
