You used obfuscated addresses in the problem desc but gave specific error messages: 1) do you mean that loveranger.org mail is handled by your host but addresses are aliased to addresses in other domains? i.e. aliases file contains: chaka: <chaka's real address in some non-loveranger domain> 2) if so, have you told exim that your host is, indeed, re- sponsible for loverangers.org mail? 3) if not, then your host should not be listed in DNS as the lowest-numbered mail exchanger 4) just what, exactly, is a loveranger? :) Best, -=greg
