I suspect you're right, however, I'm not sure which way to go about fixing it. The setup right now is that hadrian (the firewall) does not relay mail, and both hadrian and gashuffer have exim set up as internet sites. The relevant options seem to be:
qualify_domain = cc888998-a.clmbs1.pa.home.com
primary_hostname = cc888998-a.clmbs1.pa.home.com
local_domains = localhost:hadrian
The cc888998-a.clmbs1.pa.home.com is my _actual_ domain name, from my
ISP - it's a cable connection, so seems unlikely to change. I had to
put this in so that other sites that do reverse lookups don't bounce
my mail.
And the docs aren't very clear (at least to me) about how to set
things up for an internal, unregistered domain. Following your above
suggestion, I added:
192.168.0.1 hadrian.steve.home hadrian
192.168.0.2 gashuffer.steve.home gashuffer
to /etc/hosts on both machines - works like a charm, thank you! Now
how to get exim to understand the same information?
Thanks for any pointers - if you like I'll send the whole exim.conf,
but it seemed a bit large to send right away.
