Hello,
I'm using exim4 on a dedicated server (by Online.net). I use the
smarthost configuration to make all mails be sent by the SMTP server
of my DNS/email provider (Gandi). It works only for adresses != of the
servers domain.
'echo "foo" | mail [email protected]' works
'echo "foo" | mail [email protected]' doesn't
Can you please give me a hint?
Thank you.

First, can I just check that mail to you should be delivered to a
mailbox hosted by Gandi, not to a mailbox on the exim server?
That's right, there are no mailboxes on the server, and every
email-related stuff is hosted by Gandi.
If you're using Debian's configuration, then selecting "mail sent by
smarthost; no local mail" at the first stage of dpkg-reconfigure
exim4-config should have the desired effect. Under that configuration,
no domains are considered local, and everything is forwarded to the
smarthost.
I'm basically using this "Out of the Box" Debian configuration, and I
edited the passwd.client for authentication to Gandi's server.
The next-easiest option, non-os-specific, is to remove the "domains = !
+local_domains" condition in the smarthost router (and make sure it is
above any local delivery router)
I removed this line in the 'smarthost:' section of
/etc/exim4/conf.d/router/200_exim4-config_primary, but nothing changed.
It seems that mails targeted for @mydomain.net are still considered as
for local users.
Alternatively, specify a different local domain for the server - its
FQDN is a fair choice - so that your main domain is not then considered
local. This is only really a good idea if you do want to be able to have
some local mailboxes; and then make sure that the default qualifier
domain (for addresses with local part only) is your main domain.
Otherwise you may find cron reports etc. get lost in a mail spool on the
server that you never check!
Yup, I don't want to have local mailboxes and I'm scared to get a
growing ghost mail spool!
Thank you for your answer.
Regards.
