Pkg exim4 users - Aug 2010 - Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: root@gmail.com

Hi,

I have installed exim version 4.72 on Gentoo Linux system.

I have the following setup:
(I will write here only that lines that aren''t hashed (#) and are
related to this thread - to my mind)

------------*
domainlist local_domains = @
domainlist relay_to_domains domainlist use_gmail_domains =
/etc/exim/gmail.domains
hostlist   relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1

acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt
acl_smtp_data = acl_check_data

tls_advertise_hosts = *

daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 465 : 587
tls_on_connect_ports = 465

qualify_domain = gmail.com

never_users = root

host_lookup = *

send_via_gmail:
  driver = manualroute
  domains = +use_gmail_domains
  transport = gmail_smtp
  route_list = "* smtp.gmail.com byname"

gmail_smtp:
  driver = smtp
  hosts = smtp.gmail.com
  hosts_require_auth = smtp.gmail.com
  hosts_require_tls = smtp.gmail.com

gmail_login:
  driver = plaintext
  public_name = LOGIN
  client_send = : csanyipal at gmail.com : <my password>
------------*

I want exim send mails to root not to root at gmail.com, but to
csanyipal at gmail.com. How can I setup exim to do that?

This mailing list is for User of Exim4 on Debian.  Debian does quite a bit of 
automatic configuration for Exim4, and it is mostly assumed you are having 
issues with those Debian-izations.

If you are writing your configuration from scratch and compiling the software 
locally (Gentoo is still source-oriented, right?) you might as well use the 
upstream mailing list(s), which have a larger user base.

You probably doesn''t want this.  This would means that any unqualified
email
address like "root", "cron", or "user1000" gets
"@gmail.com" added to it as a
qualifier.

Set it up to be able to send mail (either directly or through a smarthost), 
enable use of /etc/aliases (actually, it is on by default), and then use 
/etc/aliases to "forward" all mail destine for the local root mailbox
to the
(remote) csanyipal at gmail.com mailbox.

For using gmail as your smarthost, you should be able to use dpkg-reconfigure, 
instead of manually editing your configuration.  Or, at least, you could if 
you were using Debian.
