This is a classic "smarthost" configuration. See http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-user%40lists.debian.org/msg82754.html for step-by-step answers to the questions. As for the rewriting of names, edit /etc/email-addresses and add an entry for each user or read spec.txt regarding rewriting rules. I don't think you really need them anyways since you set the From: header in your MUA. | Does nayone have a smaple exim config file I could look at? If you really want it, but my setup is quite a bit different -- I send outgoing mail directly to the MX handlers and incoming mail is received directly (it would work just as well coming from fetchmail though, there's no difference). -D -- Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow.
