Hi All I am able to send and recieve mails among the users locally. What i did is made exim as the default MTA through mail transport agent switcher & made some changes in the exim cnfiguration file. But i need to know what extra configuration change has to be made so that mail can be sent to outside domains like (yahoo, gmail etc.) & how to send failure delivery notification to the sender notifying that mail delilvery has failed.

At the moment, you're pretty much asking people to exercise psychic powers to tell you what's happening. Did the test mail get rejected and sent back to the sender? If so, what does the reject message say? If not, where is the mail? "exim -bpru" will show you the mail-queue on the system, "exim -Mvl msgid" where msgid is one of the message-ids from the queue will show you the delivery attempt log. If you run "exim -bP log_file_path" then you'll be shown the filename template used for generating the log files. If it's syslog, look at your syslog configuration; otherwise, look at "mainlog" for the period in question and find the log entries for the delivery attempt. The diagnostic log is there to help you with just such problems as this. You should be looking in the logs first; if you still don't understand what's going on, ask for help then, including full details from the logs. What happens if you try a delivery with debugging enabled? "man exim" will explain the -d option to you. What did you do to configure Exim to delivery mail to Courier, instead of to the normal mail-spool? What are the Router and Transport used, and can we see a debug trace showing this Router being used? Routers are tried in-order.
