In this case, it's Exim that's at fault. You need to tell exim the
wanadoo.fr is *not* the local system. I had this same problem for quite
some time. So, in your /etc/exim.conf file look for the following sections
and do something sorta kinda similar.
--- Begin exim.conf sections ---
# Specify the domain you want to be added to all unqualified addresses
# here. Unqualified addresses are accepted only from local callers by
# default. See the receiver_unqualified_{hosts,nets} options if you want
# to permit unqualified addresses from remote sources. If this option is
# not set, the primary_hostname value is used for qualification.
# Had to comment this line out to get things to work.
#qualify_domain = earthlink.net
qualify_domain = localnet.here
# Specify your local domains as a colon-separated list here. If this option
# is not set (i.e. not mentioned in the configuration file), the
# qualify_recipient value is used as the only local domain. If you do not want
# to do any local deliveries, uncomment the following line, but do not supply
# any data for it. This sets local_domains to an empty string, which is not
# the same as not mentioning it at all. An empty string specifies that there
# are no local domains; not setting it at all causes the default value (the
# setting of qualify_recipient) to be used.
local_domains = localhost:localnet.here
--- End exim.conf sections ---
The localnet.here thing is what exim thinks my domain name is. And with
something like this, I can still do local mail between users, and still get
mail out to others on my ISP.
