So your situation is that you're trying to run Exim in "end-user" mode (for want of a better term) where you want to send all e-mail to another server, and only deliver mail to you personally locally. In that case, you need to remove the other domain from your local_domains, leaving only localhost. Then, you configure fetchmail to deliver to <whoever>@localhost (which, IIRC, is the default) then mail to <whoever>@<yourdomain> will end up on your local system, but all other e-mail @<yourdomain> will be forwarded to the correct server, which is (I believe) what you're after. > I have a another machine (Woody) which has KMail configured and it's > working fine with the setup( where Exim is not installed). I think this is > something wrong in my exim.conf, Any idea? Yeah, use IMAP for mail access. <grin> The problem is that your local exim thinks that it is "authoritative" (as it were) for your company's (?) domain. So any mail it gets for <anyone>@<yourdomain> it treats as "local". Which domains get this treatment are set by the local_domains parameter in exim.conf. What you want is for exim to treat *no* external domains as local, and instead treat all mail as "pass-through", except for the one mail account which you retrieve via fetchmail. - Matt
