eximconfig asks:
What is the `visible' mail name of your system? This will appear on
From: lines of outgoing messages.
I answered student.canterbury.ac.nz, because that's what I want on the
From: lines of outgoing messages. eximconfig puts it on the local_domains
list. I take it this is not what I want.

That's what I want to do. Outgoing mail is working fine. The only
other thing I want is for local mail (such as ajt@Caliban) to be
delivered. At the moment it's not being delivered, and I have no idea why.
