Put in where? You previously said you had local domains = localhost:your_host_name in exim.config. Where did you put localhost.invalid? I'll tell you what I've done on my system, which is a standalone machine at home used almost exclusively by me but occasionally for e-mail by other members of my family. It may be a stupid way to do it, but it works all right for us: 1: Set up a different user for each fragment of my fractured persona (one of them being thought of as the main user) and each family member. Every e-mail address has its own user. 2: Put a line in exim.conf's rewrite configuration for each user. 3: Write a .fetchmailrc for each user, and a .fetchmailrc for the main user including all the individual e-mail addresses. If I want to send or fetch mail from or for a particular address, I log in as that user. If I want to fetch mail from all addresses, I do it as the main user. Would such a setup solve your problem?
