Did you make sure that you have set up exim to do relaying for your internal network? You neet to put the network address when eximconf asks you about relaying local networks. I 've never set this up before, but you can take a look at a Linux Gazette article that's really helpful. http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue43/stumpel.html You probably already have all the preliminary stuff set up, such as filtering/forward mail into separate email folders, but I think that if you address the relaying for your local net, that you'll be on the right træck. Sometime like answering 192.168.9.0/16 when prompted for additional local machines you want to relay mail for. I don't know what the '/16' does though. There are a bunch of more knowledgeable people on this list who (hopefully) will chime in to clear up any of [my] misconceptions. Hope I was helpful and good luck Rereading your message, I'm not sure how much help I was. Take a look that article for some pointers.
