Exim, Pine, and smtp-server

[Jor-el <jorel@marvin.megadodo.umb>]

Hi,

        I use exim as the MTA and the relay_domains option is not set
(commented out). When the smtp-server parameter is configured in pine to
be that for the machine running the MTA, I get an error whenever I send
mail to non-local addresses. The error says that the administrator has set
up the MTA so that relaying mail for anything other than non-local domains
is prohibited.

        However, when the smtp-server parameter is not set in pine, I can
send mail just fine. Is this expected behaviour or a bug in pine?

TIA,
Jor-el
