In /etc/exim.conf set qualify_domain = usinternet.com qualify_recipient = localhost local_domains = localhost:<internal names of all machines on my network> Do _not_ include your ISP under local_domains. Removing the ISP from local_domains prevents exim from recognizing the ISP as a local address, so it asks another server to handle the mail for it, resulting in correct delivery. qualify_domain is used for unqualified sender addresses, so when I send mail as esper, it turns into [EMAIL PROTECTED] qualify_recipient is normally blank, causing it to default to being the same as qualify_domain. Setting it to localhost will cause mail to esper to become [EMAIL PROTECTED], localhost is in local_domains, so exim delivers it. (This isn't strictly necessary, but without it, sending mail from one account on your machine to another would force the mail to be routed through your ISP's mail server. And if something sent mail to (unqualified) root, exim would turn that into [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+: a- C++ UL++$ P+>+++ L++>++++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI++++ D G e* h+ r++ y+
