Re: Just installed Exim - how to I get local/system mail?

[Phillip Deackes <gsmh@gmx.net>]

Thanks to those of you who replied so quickly.

I have made sure that in /etc/aliases I have:

postmaster: root
root: gsmh

#root: root

at the top of the list.

Then, in exim.conf, I have:

# qualify_recipient =
qualify_domain = gmx.net
local_domains = scgf.gmx.net:localhost
local_domains_include_host = true
local_domains_include_host_literals = true
sender_host_accept_relay = localhost
queue_only = true
never_users = root

I got the cron job to run, and copied the file created in
/var/spool/exim/input:

10mNbI-00004n-00-H
root 0 0
<root@gmx.net>

My hostname is scgf, my email address is gsmh@gmx.net.

I am a little confused now. The above mail went out via smtp and so far,
it hasn't come back to me.

Any further ideas?

Cheers.
