On Exim 3, you need to add "untrusted_set_sender = true" to your Exim
configuration, otherwise Exim will not allow TMDA to change the
Return-Path address when it sends messages. This might not be your
problem, but this certainly would break things.

The unstable TMDA package will work fine on Debian stable. The reason
TMDA is not in stable is that Debian only allows you to update stable
packages when there is a security problem, which effectively means the
TMDA stable package never gets updated (even for bugfixes!). I asked
that it be removed from stable for this reason. If Debian changes
their policy to allow bugfix-only updates to stable (the sensible
thing), I will reconsider.

If you stick with Exim you should really upgrade to Exim 4. The Exim
homepage says:
``Exim 3 and previous versions are now considered obsolete. Exim 3 is
not being developed any further, nor is it being actively
maintained.''
