I had to do this myself, I got this info. from Oskar Liljeblad ([EMAIL
PROTECTED])
(in /etc/exim.conf):
# Main Configuration Settings
qualify_domain = alumni.ust.hk
"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 you can do "mail vamp"
and receive the mail directly without going through the ISP.
The new mail will have "To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" but still
"From: Ronald Tin <alumni.ust.hk>" 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.
Sorry for the plagiraism, Oskar, but you knew how to fix it....
