OK Have now done that.

OK I find there the following:
*@uts.edu.au ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} bcfrF
and in email-addresses currently I have
#user: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#otheruser: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Um my domain is chem.uts.edu.au and my machine name is say A123
would I set *@uts.edu.au instead to:
*@chem.uts.edu.au ?
Local delivery would be to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but what about
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Is that local?
I'm not sure what to put in place of *@uts.edu.au

and would I put in email-addresses
mikel: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ie exim will lookup local user mikel and use email address
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ?

Netscape settings are to deliver outgoing via the outgoing mail (smtp) server
"postoffice.uts.edu.au"
At present this is not set anywhere in my exim.conf
