RE: exim and fetchmail



WHat matters is what is in the envelope sender, not what is in the from
line and as for qualify hosts, it is the host used in the HELO statement
by the mail client.

Can you give me a line from the /var/log/exim/rejectlog for one of these
messages?

So, should qualify_domain be p90 or mydomain?  Regardless, exim tries to deliver to russ@localhost and is denied.  Any more hints?  This is frustrating.
