It looks to me as if you've set up an alias to an account which doesnt exist on your box. have you created the user test1? perhaps it would be beneficial to explain generally what you are trying to accomplish. Are you trying to set up virtual accounts (email accounts which you accept mail for, but which do not have a local account (one that exists in /etc/passwd) on your machine? If you are just trying to implement aliases in general, that is already provided in the exim3 default config. -davidc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
