EXIM settings for dialup.
Not sure if I should post here (but I'm running exim on a debian :)
So, I have a Debian unstable running exim 3.03, connecting to the
Internet through PPP without fixed IP. I have configured exim to
use smarthost(*) to send mail, performing address rewrite like
this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffr
And can send mail just fine (or else you can't see this)
However there is something stupid when I send mail to myself:
Address rewrite is performed even for local deliveries.
How can I disable this?
I guess I should disable address rewrite for everything
inside the directors. But... how?
Or am I plain wrong?
Should I disable address rewrites for everything, and
enable them only for the routers instead?
*) In fact I have more than one router. The smarthost router
runs only if the sender is me.
I does this through
condition = ${if eq [EMAIL PROTECTED] {yes}fail}
It works fine but is less then clean. Are there better configuration
options for this? From what I read in the spec this is the best?
( And that I am subscribed to the digest instead. Do I get
every single post, including this one and follow-ups for it? )

Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
I had to do this myself, I got this info. from Oskar Liljeblad ([EMAIL
PROTECTED])
(in /etc/exim.conf):
# Main Configuration Settings
qualify_domain = alumni.ust.hk
hem.passagen.se is my email ISP, and without this
they wouldn't let me relay mail through their server.
qualify_recipient = localhost
This is necessary so you can do mail vamp
and receive the mail directly without going through the ISP.
The new mail will have To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] but still
From: Ronald Tin alumni.ust.hk where the latter was
rewritten by the local MTA.
local_domains = localhost
If you use eximconfig to generate a smarthost setup, it is possible
that your smarthost will be included here. But it shouldn't.
Sorry for the plagiraism, Oskar, but you knew how to fix it

Re: EXIM settings for dialup.
Sorry that I didn't make it clear.. :(
I don't have much problems sending the mail through alumni.ust.hk.
And no problems for sending local mail too.
(There was quite a number of problems, but were solved before
I decided to post here :)
The problem is that local mails suffers from the address rewrite..
Just a bit ugly :(
And yes, I find that I can see my mail and replies to it from
the digest. Thanks for forwarding me a copy, Jonathan)
