I started out from there but reached here ;-) By the way, I tried running exim in debug mode and managed to trace the error though I don't know how to sort it out :-) The relevant portion of the debug report: <snip> Exim version 4.01 ...

The localuser router should have accepted the user ajay but this router also says ajay is not a local user, why? 3. I've created a local user ajay on the same box, but why does exim fail to identify ajay as local user? Should I do anything in addition to force exim to recognise ajay as an user? I remember qmail required an addition of the user details to its access file in order to recognise the user. 4. In the above listing, dbfn_read mentions 'no domain retry record' - what does it mean? Hope you're not tired out reading this long listing :-) Cordially, Ajay Shankar _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
