So there will be some internal delivery going on. I also just found this Exim FAQ, which appears to address the question I'm concerned with: http://exim.ping.uio.no/FAQ.html#SEC201 Basically, it's this: o Rewrite all references to 'karsten' for mail being delivered outside the local network, changing them to 'kmself@ix.netcom.com' o Don't modify any references to 'karsten' for mail delivered on the local host or within the local network. ...I'm getting the impression this isn't the sort of rule Exim likes to have to deal with.
