Your host name is "rebel" (see /etc/hosts) and your user name is "me". exim sends the mail out with an envelope sender of "me@rebel". That's not a valid address, and the server on "master.debian.org" verifies that return addresses are valid before it accepts the mail. | I'll have to study exim, and presumably that will solve my | reportbug and popularity-contest problems at the same time. Indeed. Put the line me: ron.l.johnson@cox.net in /etc/email-addresses. (that works because of the rewrite rule in your config) -D -- Bugs come in through open windows.
