Exim: error in redirect data: missing or malformed local part

[Dipak Bhoi]

Hello Guys,

If you noticed an error in /var/log/exim_mainlog like as below, then this article will help you to sort out this error.

2015-09-04 14:07:53 H=(xxx.global.local) [xxx.xx.xx.xx] F=<> temporarily rejected RCPT <email@domain.com.se>: error in redirect data: missing or malformed local part (expected word or "<") in ": No Such User Here"

You are getting this error because fail is set up incorrectly in the default address field in cPanel.

Solution :

Login to cPanel and go to Default Address under Mail section.

Now check your current setting and correct it. Check below image for your reference.



I have mentioned the correct setting in above image.

Or you may also correct it via SSH.

Login to your server as a root server.

Open a file vi /etc/valiases/domain.com and correct a line to *: :fail: No Such User Here

#vi /etc/valiases/domain.com

*: :fail: No Such User Here

Save and close the line.

That's all, Enjoy !!
