When I first set up exim a long time ago with my isp, I had the same problem. The "sender" is your user. Exim probably sends it as coming from <username>@sebastian. The SMTP server of onu doesn't like that. Solution: use address rewriting to change <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to the email address you want people to see. In my exim.conf, at the bottom under "Address Rewriting": [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffsr ^ ^ ^ | | rewrite it in these fields(From sender reply-to) anything from my machine | |rewrite it to this Hope you understand my ascii art :) > > Thanks in advance. > > Sebastian Canagaratna > Department of Chemistry > Ohio Northern University > Ada, OH 45810 > > > > -- Pat Mahoney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
