deliver to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
router = smarthost, transport = remote_smtp
host adam.ist.flinders.edu.au [129.96.1.21]
So does this mean that it is routing to adam directly, or via
"mail.infoeng"? How can you tell?
The other thing I still don't understand, is how mail can be delivered
even though the exim daemon is not running (ie "/etc/init.d/exim stop"
has been run). Because I tried this, and mail still seems to be
delivered outside.
Thanks,
Mark.
