Hi, on my new Gentoo Linux system my old non-Gentoo `exim.conf' doesn't work any more. The messages are sent to my provider in a form they do not accept.
The reason seems to be that the variables `$sender_address' and `$sender_address_domain' changed: Former system: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I managed to authenticate to my provider by using `$domain' and [EMAIL PROTECTED]' instead but then the sender address still is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and the message is rejected. Maybe this problem is caused by the wrong Gentoo use flags. I listed them below. Any hints?
