Package: exim4-config Version: 4.50-5 Severity: normal I have just installed a Debian unstable machine and configured exim4 for "mail sent by smarthost; no local mail". This has two weird effects (which I don't think are the same as bug 297841): (Throughout this message, I have replaced my domain with example.com.)
1. Mail to real-andrew is not delivered locally; instead, exim tries to deliver to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since root is aliased to real-andrew, this means that system messages are not delivered. The debconf questions imply that real- mail should be delivered locally even with "mail sent by smarthost; no local mail". 2. Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] fails with "451 Temporary local problem". The log message looks bizarre: 2005-04-15 13:12:40 H=localhost [127.0.0.1]:33800 I=[127.0.0.1]:25 U=andrew F=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> temporarily rejected RCPT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: error in redirect data: domain missing or malformed in "andrew@" I don't know where "andrew@" came from. I think that @localhost mail should be delivered locally even with "mail sent by smarthost; no local mail", especially since that's what fetchmail uses. However, even if you want to reject such mail, the error status and log message should probably made more clear.
