See bug #36837. The installation script of exim tells you that you might want to add localhost to local_domains. A future release will include this advice in the docs, too. I am told that there are good reasons not to include localhosts in local_domains by default. As to delivering to "user": |[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/main6/home/mh > telnet localhost 25 |Trying 127.0.0.1... |Connected to localhost. |Escape character is '^]'. |220 torres.gf1.internal ESMTP Exim 2.10 #1 Thu, 6 May 1999 10:23:30 +0200 |helo torres |250 torres.gf1.internal Hello mh at localhost [127.0.0.1] |mail from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> |250 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is syntactically correct |rcpt to: <mh> |501 <mh>: recipient address must contain a domain |quit |221 torres.gf1.internal closing connection |Connection closed by foreign host. |[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/main6/home/mh > exim doesn't support this. Fetchmail can also be configured to deliver to other domains than @localhost using the smtpaddress directive. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
