In /etc/email-addresses I have: brownh: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and tried (following the directions literally): user: [EMAIL PROTECTED] No go. In exim4 configuration, where I list recipient domains for which the machine is final recipient, I put "hartford-hwp.com" in rather than include the hostname "langhans.hartford-hwp.com". In the section of the configuration that asks local mailname in outgoing mail, I have a visible domain name as: "hartford-hwp.com". I presume both of these are correct. -- Haines Brown, KB1GRM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
