Hi,

I have a stock Debian Sarge install for which I am trying to setup exim 4.50.

However, things are not behaving as expected.

In /etc/aliases I have:

  root: me
  me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On the box, I have run "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config", selecting:

 * Split configuration into small files: "No"
 * General type of mail configuration: "internet site; mail
     is sent and received directly using SMTP"
 * System mail name: "mydomain.com"
 * IP-addresses to listen on for incoming SMTP connections:
    "127.0.0.1"
 * Other destinations for which mail is accepted: ""
 * Domains to relay mail for: ""
 * Machines to relay mail for: ""
 * Keep number of DNS-queries minimal (Dial-on-Demand):"Yes"

Basically, I want the box to deliver mail directly. I want all mail for local 
accounts to arrive at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

However, when I run "mail root" on the box, exim decides the mail is for 
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", rather than [EMAIL PROTECTED] (as I have specified in 
aliases).

I suspect this has something to do with the precedence/priority of the aliases 
file?

Apologies for this Debian centric question, but I suspect the Debian Exim gurus 
hang out here.

Any pointers would be appreciated,

Thanks,
dev.random
