Then go down to near the bottom of the file to the REWRITE CONFIGURATION section and change uts.edu.au to your local host.domain, and if you haven't already, edit /etc/email-addresses. This step wasn't part of your problem, but its a good thing to do IMHO. > But mainly whats the error actually mean? Should the envelope or return I think it will be made clear when you read the comments in the exim.conf file, but basically when you send mail to a local address (without a @host part to it), exim was adding @uts.edu.au and then sending it to your smart host, rather than delivering it locally. That was my problem anyway, yours sounds similar to mine. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
