You need to configure exim4 so that * you have a smarthost to send mail via (your ISP perhaps) * you can do per-user address rewriting The latter might be supported without any exim4 config, either by adding yourself to /etc/email-addresses, or configuring your MUA (such as mutt) to add an explicit From: header. The latter is probably best. -- Jon Dowland http://alcopop.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
