Server email only sending to one address

Posted on March 5, 2014

I recently configured my server email with exim and had a few issues. Now I realize that my server only sends emails to one address.

For example, when I type “echo test | mail thisonespecific@address.com” I get that email, but it doesnt work for any other email addresses.

Any thoughts on why the server is so restrictive. Btw, that address is a gmail account (but with a different domain; no other gmail accounts I have receive the email)
