Although there are other things that could be wrong, check that these three settings are correct in /etc/exim.conf: qualify_domain = remotehost.com (Substitute your ISP for remotehost.com) qualify_recipient = localhost (You should be OK substituting your machine's name here, but I suggest leaving it as "localhost" so that if you just send mail to "user" without specifying a hostname, exim won't convert it to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".) local_domains = localhost:mymachine (If remotehost.com is included here, sending mail to other users of your ISP is problematic, as they're recognized as being local accounts. If you have multiple boxen on your end, make this local_domains = localhost:mymachine:myothermachine:...) -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+: a- C++ UL++$ P+>+++ L++>++++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI++++ D G e* h+ r++ y+
