I'm trying to setup my debian server to download email from a gmail account (e.g. [email protected]
) and then forward it to a 3rd party email. The reason I can't just setup email forwarding within gmail is because I need the headers to reflect that the email is coming from [email protected]
. When I use gmail's forwarding, then it leaves the headers unchanged.
I'm first trying to setup exim4 to just use gmail to send. I set it up as a smarthost via the instructions on the Debian wiki, but when I try to send a test email, it gives me the following errors in the exim4 log:
2011-06-26 06:34:37 1QapTx-0000rh-Cu <= root@ETC_MAILNAME U=root P=local S=360
2011-06-26 06:34:37 1QapTx-0000rh-Cu ** [email protected]: Unrouteable address
2011-06-26 06:34:38 1QapTx-0000rj-R4 Error while reading message with no usable sender address (R=1QapTx-0000rh-Cu): at least one malformed recipient address: root@ETC_MAILNAME - malformed address: _MAILNAME may not follow root@ETC
2011-06-26 06:34:38 1QapTx-0000rh-Cu Process failed (1) when writing error message to root@ETC_MAILNAME (frozen)
Anyone have any idea what might be the issue?
