Hi All

Not sure that I'm using the right 'exim' langauge to describe my issue but here goes...

I'm running several virtual domains on an apache web server for my clients with exim
handling the domain mail.

Normally everything is sweet, I just create a smtp alias file for each virtual domain and forward domain to pop accounts, and list my server as the MX records for the virtual
domain.

I now have a problem: only one of these domains has it's mx handled by another ISP, so in the zone file I have the correct mail server listed. However when I send mail (I also use this server as my authenicated smtp server for my domain) it sees the message as being local
and therefore wants a smtp alias file with a pop address in it.

But i want the mail to be ignored by my server and passed on directly to the client's ISP.

To clarify

I send mail as [EMAIL PROTECTED] through my server

My server also acts as web host ONLY for acme.org.uk

Exim sees [EMAIL PROTECTED] as being a local address so ignores the acme.org.uk zone
file which specifies
@    IN MX    10   ibmr.btconnect.com.
and instead tries to expand to expand "${lookup{$local_part}lsearch*{/ etc/
domianmailredirects/$domain}}"

In this one instance I want exim to forget about this domain as being local and send the
mail onwards for BTconnect to deal with.

This much has taken me weeks to work with help from more tech savvy people than me but we have reached the end of our knowledge, if anyone can help me reslove this I'd be extremely grateful, but be warned: treat me as stupid when it comes to exim, transports,
et al

Many Thanks
Julian
