I don't think that will help if the problem is that exim thinks that it handles all mail for his domain. Most MTAs implement a luser_relay option which allows one to specify a host to throw unknown local users to. In exim this appears to be a smartuser director, and is documented in the manual. Try adding after the localuser director in your exim.conf: startuser: driver = domainlist transport = remote_smtp route_list = "* mail.relay.for.your.site bydns_a" (Completely untested and assuming a fairly standard Debian exim configuration). The other option is to use a fake name or your hostname internally and use rewriting to make sure any addresses which make it off your system are valid. > (Anyone else think exim's docs might be a bit too big? :) The main problem is knowing what to look for rather than anything else - it's not very well indexed and doesn't cater to people using different terminology so well. -- Mark Brown mailto:broonie@tardis.ed.ac.uk (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
