This is not possible afaik, as exim isn't just a dumb remailer but a powerful mail transport and storing system. Exim definitly is too big for just playing a mail hub. This is the problem: When exim is told to deliver to the local machine it doesn't think of having any (MTA) gods beside him, and thinks of an error instead of a tricky configuration. Delivery to the local machine should always be a local delivery as long as exim is concerned. Conclusion: It doesn't work the way you want. > No errors > appear to be generated to help me debug the situation.

The only thing is exim sitting on the very machine the mail should be sent to. If you get your postcast server to behave like a sendmail from the command line, you can for sure (and should) use only postcast and discard exim. Another workaround would be to install a dumb mail hub on another machine and point exim to this mail hub, which indeed doesn't do anything than sending the mail back at once. Hmm... Using exim is nothing more than a workaround. In future there will be a simple SMTP module in OTRS to use *any* MTA, including locally installed ones.
