Hi Ric,
fetchmail runs on host "otte" and delivers mail to "ric@otte" on otte via esmtp. exim gets the mail, and tries to deliver to ric@otte. Unfortunately, your exim setup does not recognize otte as a local domain. It forwards this to your smarthost, smtp.ucsc.edu. My guess is that smtp.ucsc.edu takes its own time, but it knows that ric@otte is really [EMAIL PROTECTED] It forwards to the mail exchanger (cats-mx2.ucsc.edu) for ucsc.edu, which promptly uses smtp to deliver the mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] at otte.ucsc.edu (you lucky university people with real IP addresses and hostnames). It all fits, except one thing: you said when you took .procmailrc out everything worked. That screws my whole theory, because I don't see .procmailrc being invoked that first time *unless* you mailed out the logs in the wrong order or something..... Anyway, keep at it. I think your are almost there with a real solution. Let us know the local_domains entry in exim.conf Cheers! Shyamal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
