Hi,
I looked carefully and noticed that I have both a /etc/exim.conf~ and a
/etc/exim/exim.conf. In the first file (conf~) I had the lines:
qualify_domain = otte
local_domains = localhost:otte
which probably says my localhost is otte, instead of otte.ucsc.edu. It

I ran eximconfig and created a new /etc/exim/exim.conf file. With this things are

Hi Ric,
fetchmail runs on host otte and delivers mail to ric@otte on otte
via esmtp.
exim gets the mail, and tries to deliver to ric@otte. Unfortunately,
your exim setup does not recognize otte as a local domain. It forwards
this to your smarthost, smtp.ucsc.edu.
My guess is that
I have an email account on a separate mail server, and I want to keep
the mail I get at that account separate from the mail I get directly on
my Linux machine. So I use fetchmail to get mail from the mail server,
then procmail to deliver it to mbox. After I fetch the mail, it can
take a very

Ric Thanks for the suggestion about locks on procmailrc. I
Ric changed them. But I don't think the slowness problem is due
