          First of, man needs to disable IPv6 in exim4.



          In the following file:



          /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf


          Make sure this line is there, if not, add it, or change it:



          disable_ipv6='true'


          But I tried only this solution and the mail is still coming, so digging further...



          In the same file, make sure this line is set to true:



          dc_minimaldns='true'


          Now edit this file:



          /etc/hosts


          Let's suppose, this line defines your server name:



          127.0.1.1 server-name


          Change it as follows:



          127.0.1.1 server-name.localhost server-name


          Now, verify, that this command:



          hostname --fqdn


          Returns:



          server-name.localhost


          If so, you can update your Exim4 configuration:



          update-exim4.conf


          And restart the Exim4 service:



          service exim4 restart

                    Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
