I have a server with CentOS 5.6 installed on it. It has working mail server of exim + dovecot + mysql + roundcube.
My log file /var/log/exim/main.log is already of 3 Gb and continues to grow. It consists of such entries:
2013-03-12 18:09:42 1UEaWr-0003VI-Ts == [email protected] R=dnslookup defer (-1): host lookup did not complete

I understand that it's because of mail.mydomain.com is not FQDN or real domain name at all. But where it takes from? I've checked /etc/exim/exim.conf and every file in /etc/ but couldn't find this domain string. Besides, I've checked vexim database's tables - no results. How can I change it?
Then, when I try to send mail, I'm getting this error in log (I've replaced real mail and ip addresses):
2013-03-12 18:13:30 1UFJGl-0004c9-2X == [email protected] R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp defer (-45): SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:<[email protected]> SIZE=1406: host mail2.to.com [x1x.x1x.x1x.x1x]: 451 4.1.8 Sender address <[email protected]> domain does not resolve
2013-03-12 18:14:34 1UFJGl-0004c9-2X SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<[email protected]>: host mail.to.com [x1x.x1x.x1x.x1x]: 450 4.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your hostname, [x2x.x2x.x2x.x2x]
I suppose the source of this problem is the same. But can't find the solution. I assume my problem is to replace default FROM field for exim ([email protected]) with something like [email protected]
Any help? Thanks.
