I've tried to do the same, but I haven't found a good way yet. Some things that you should check out though, are these (in /etc/exim.conf): # Main Configuration Settings qualify_domain = hem.passagen.se "hem.passagen.se" is my email ISP, and without this they wouldn't let me relay mail through their server. qualify_recipient = localhost This is necessary so that I can do "mail usel" (usel is my local login) and receive the mail directly without going through the ISP. The new mail will have "To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" but still "From: Oskar Liljeblad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" where the latter was rewritten by the local MTA. local_domains = localhost If you use eximconfig to generate a smarthost setup, it is possible that your smarthost will be included here. But it shouldn't. # Rewrite Configuration [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] F [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] f The's not much to say about the first one. The second rewrites the From field of all messages sent from here. (This is so that I don't have to set $EMAIL or do some special configuration in the MUAs. In mutt I used to have "my_hdr From: Oskar Liljeblad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" but this is no longer necessary.) Some of the things said above may be wrong, so if you're unsure make sure you check the comments in /etc/exim.conf or the docs. Oskar Liljeblad ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
