Re: exim and fetchmail
Change these lines in /etc/exim.conf:
qualify_domain = <your hostname>
local_domains = <your hostname>:localhost
local_domains_include_host = true
local_domains_include_host_literals = true
sender_host_reject_relay = *
sender_unqualified_hosts = localhost
I cant remember which ones are relevant, but that makes it work.
