Where might I have > gone wrong here? Decide whether you're dealing with "root" or "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", and code appropriately. Test with "exim -bt", and if that's not detailed enough, with various combinations of "exim -d-all+foo -bh bar". - Jeremy Well after much fiddling, I finally got around to renaming exim.conf to exim4.conf. Problem solved. My hair will eventually grow back. Problem is some doco I read somewhere either yesterday or today said that by creating a exim.conf file it will take precedence over Debian's own debconf generated config.
