That's pretty much it. I can send mail when I bypass my output filter though, so it's not my server (ISP). I can fetch mail without any probs too. > > as a test, you might try sending message to yourself > ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and see if you get it back without > any errors. if you do get a warning message, it's > probably a problem with exim. Same problem. In an earlier post, I listed what I did to narrow it down. The problem seems to be exim's handling (or lack of) of my output filter for rewriting the From: header on outbound email. No matter what I do, I can't get it to work with it. If I comment the lines in my exim.conf file that refer to the output filter, it works. The rub is that then my email address is wrong. Grrrr.
