Thanks very much, Eugene! I corrected the typo you caught, and exactly as you 
predicted, it started recognizing help as a local mailbox.

However, I may not be able to use the other trick you mentioned for redirecting 
mail to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. I am 
not sure why yet, but test emails sent from my workstation to the internal FQDN 
of the Exchange server don't work. (The Exim4 server is not even involved in 
this test.) So there may be something with the configuration of the Exchange 
servers (which I am not in charge of) that prevents me from going this route.

It is a brilliant idea, though. If it had worked, I would've had the exact 
solution I needed within 15 minutes of reading your email. And thanks for your 
help with the local delivery typo!

Dennis.
