The usual (familiar) example is an ISP. For example, my local box is titan.hooton, my local email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] My ISP is porchlight.ca and they were kind enough to give me the username and publically-accessible email address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Therefore, exim has to rewrite the address for anything going out to the smarthost. The exim package provides the /etc/email-addresses file. Here's mine: 8>-- # This is /etc/email-addresses. It is part of the exim package # # This file contains email addresses to use for outgoing mail. Any local # part not in here will be qualified by the system domain as normal. # # It should contain lines of the form: # #user: [EMAIL PROTECTED] #otheruser: [EMAIL PROTECTED] dtutty: [EMAIL PROTECTED] jhorton: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 8>-- The /etc/mailname contains: titan.hooton Which exim adds to the local part (e.g. dtutty) to make [EMAIL PROTECTED] which it then rewrites to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Without further info, I'm guessing that something like this is your problem.
