Is local domain name the same as what exim configuration calls system mail name? In the field put Iskra@hstomatlnet. There is no place for an additinoal domain name. Pehaps it can be provided in answer to other distinations. Is that so? I usually leave blank. > Next, look at how your "postmaster" is configured. Is it an alias? > Is it a real user? If it's an alias, what address does it point to? Exim configuration does not provide for identifying who is postmaster. I do create a /root/.forward file with my simple address [email protected] in it. I suppose that makes me postmaster, but this is not what you are getting at. -- Haines Brown
