First of all thank you for your attention, Mark.
I have just modified my hostname, and my 'exim.conf', and I have sent a
message.
My ISP'returned me the following message :
girl@mail.it :
SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:
<girl@mail.it>:
host smtp.mail.company.it [194.00.00.123] :
550 unable to relay for girl@mail.it
......
......
......
X-Mailer : Mutt 0.95.3i
>From : Lorenzo Zampese <myself_linux@mail.company.it> <----- why
'myself_linux' ????
I put in 'exim.conf' :
*************************** REWRITE CONFIGURATION
*********************************
myself_linux@xyz myself@mail.company.it
????? Thanks again
