I just installed exim to see how it works.  The default exim config
file genereated by choosing #2 (dialup host) has the following line:

local_domains = 

And exim is told to reject relay mail.  I changed the above line to:

local_domains = localhost

This along with the following lines that are already in the exim.conf
makes exim accept mail both for localhost, for my FQDN and for my IP:

local_domains_include_host = true
local_domains_include_host_literals = true

Perhaps the localhost should be there by default?  I don't know many
people that don't want to accept mail for localhost.
