Hi all, I've just set up my mail server of sorts here which is running Debian Sarge with Exim4, Fetchmail, Procmail, and QPopper. All my packages are up to date as of today.
I'm trying to set it up so I can send internal mail without going via my ISP and external mail with address rewriting going via my ISP. The internal domain is "starpoint.local" and the ISP domain is "bigpond.com". I've tried a couple of things I found via a Google search but neither seem to be working. I think this is due to the fact that the new version of Exim4 has a directory structure containing all the settings under /etc/exim4/conf.d/.... whereas the examples I found via Google are for the older format of just /etc/exim4/exim4.conf or whatever it used to be. I've run dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config and set it up as follows: 1 - Mail sent by smarthost; received via SMTP or fetchmail 2 - System mail name: starpoint.local 3 - IP Addresses to listen on: 127.0.0.1:"my LAN IP" (this is the IP address, not the text of course) 4 - Other destinations for which mail is accepted: blank 5 - Domains to relay mail for: blank 6 - Machines to relay mail for: 127.0.0.1:"my LAN network/subnet" 7 - Machine handling outgoing mail for this host (smarthost): mail.bigpond.com 8 - Keep number of DNS queries minimual: No This configuration seems to work fine as far as I receive mail from my ISP from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I can send mail through the box with no problems. However, the problem is that when I set up my mail client which happens to be Outlook Express (don't laugh, there's a reason!), if I send mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] then it appears to still come from [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can't use the built in /etc/email-addresses because when I do this, it rewrites all mail and gets sent via my ISP rather than just going from mailbox to mailbox locally. Can anyone suggest what it is that I'm missing in my configuration and where to put it? I've tried the Exim specification and gotten completely confused as well as posting to the Exim mailing list, from which I received no replies whatsoever.
