Also check that the recipient is qualified. In fact here is a bit of my /etc/exim.conf file - it might not be right but at least it works :) qualify_domain = wyvern qualify_recipient = wyvern local_domains = wyvern:localhost and here is what I currently use in my .fetchmailrc (I call fetchmail with no arguments). My POP3 name is "adrian.bridgett" and my local login name is "apb25". poll mail.zetnet.co.uk proto pop3 user adrian.bridgett is [EMAIL PROTECTED] here password ******* # keep fetchall mda "exim -bm %s " This posts directly to exim, and does not post to the local SMTP connection. Adrian -- .signature in post -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
