Hi,

Well I don't know whether its my exim/mutt prob or the uni's mail system
now. Difficult to setup exim/mail when the uni has mail probs.

I get the following error when I send mail internally either to others
or to
myself as in the headers below. The mail bounces with:
        unknown local-part "mike.lake" in domain "uts.edu.au"

NOTE: this mail is being sent from Netscape Mail NOT Mutt to ensure it 
gets to you all without bouncing.... :-)

In mutt I have set:
        my_hdr From: Mike Lake<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
        set use_from # always generate the `From:' header field

alternatively are there particular entries in the exim.conf file I
should
check?

But mainly whats the error actually mean? Should the envelope or return
path be [EMAIL PROTECTED] as that is my email addr here. The mikel is
just my login on my Linux box.
