First off, let me say thanks to those of you who replied to my other posting about my mail system being hosed. I ended up having to reinstall since it looked more an more like the first install did not go well. After that I applied what you guys said and I now have a working email system.
However, there is still one kink. When I just tried to email myself, it was bounced back by exim. How can I prevent this? Below is the bouned email message.
