I've got a Debain machine running exim acting as a MASQ machine on a pppoe

The hostname is "burn".  The domain, for this example, is "burn.foo.net"

The problem is if I send mail to outside machines:

   echo "hello" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

gives this:

     ...error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM: ...
     501 5.1.8 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Domain of sender address
     [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exist

Which is correct, burn.foo.net does not resolve.

It really doesn't make a lot of sense that it would be qualifying that address with your local domain.

The only guess I have is that you have something in /etc/email-addresses that is making it rewrite the address.

Otherwise, you'd need to post your /etc/exim/exim.conf and /etc/email-addresses files.
