That generally speaking makes debugging harder, but I can see the answer anyway in this case. > A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its > recipients.

You need to do one of two things: Fix your hostname resolution. This is my favored approach - it involves editing /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname to make your machine know it's real, internet addreessable hostname. Then exim will use the real name automatically. Set $primary_hostname to your internet addressable name in your exim configuration. Details of how to do this (depending on which way of handling configuration of exim on a Debian system you have chosen) are best discovered on the Debian exim mailing list, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Take care, -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | Veni, Vidi, VISA: I came, I saw, I did | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | a little shopping. | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
