Configure the routers correctly. :-). I don't know what is wrong
without seeing your config. I can't even test it on my system because
I no longer have exim3 (I've got 4.04 now!).
Perhaps

will be helpful?

| www:/etc# grep local_domains exim.conf
| # any data for it. This sets local_domains to an empty string, which is

| local_domains = www.cell.dhs.org:localhost:www
| local_domains_include_host = true

That looks mostly alright. The fact that 'www' is a local domain is
why sending mail to '<user>@www' works -- exim delivers it directly to
/var/mail/<user> itself and that piece of the routing is configured
correctly. (note that 'www' is not a FQDN and isn't the greatest idea
for a local domain, but as long as you don't stick those addresses in
public places it won't affect anyone else; the problem is that only
your system can send mail to @www)
