Hi,
maybe you can try to run eximconfig. It will fill in the exim.conf on the
right way. But I think the exim.conf is in the /etc directory, at least on mine
machine it is. I`m running a stable, not a woody.
And I think the email-addresses is just to rewrite the local email addresses
on the line From: to each user on the file. It doesn`t rewrite the To: line for
the outgoing messages, even if the user is known to be local on the
email-addresses. I suppose you are sending the message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] So,
exim will try to forward the message to a smarthost becouse [EMAIL PROTECTED]
isn`t on your domain. Try to send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the message will
probably delivered with the line From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
After you run the eximconfig your exim will be able to deliver the message to
your isp smtp server(smarthost), or yahoo smtp server, I guess it is your case,
if you set it right. Then your message will be delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and you will can get it from yahoo.
I may be wrong, becouse i`m running GNU/Linux for less than a month now,
but...
Hope I helped a little :)

Hi,
Exim is failing to deliver outgoing mail and to accept incoming mail for
me:
1. outgoing mail: 'exim -d2 -bt [EMAIL PROTECTED]' gives
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is undeliverable:
unrouteable mail domain "yahoo.com"
with -b11, it says:
routing [EMAIL PROTECTED], domain yahoo.com
end of routers reached
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is undeliverable:
unrouteable mail domain "yahoo.com"
2. for incoming local mail: 'exim -d2 -bt localuser' gives:
unknown local-part "localuser" in domain <mydomain>
but i have localuser: [EMAIL PROTECTED] in /etc/email-addresses
A little more information on exim: I'm running 3.22-4
from woody, and /etc/exim/exim.conf is empty.
Thanks in advance!
