Configuration of Exim



Hi to all!

I am not able to send remote e-mails by 'Exim', but only locally.

I have got a dial-up Linux Box (Debian 2.1), without a local network,
and I wish to deliver e-mails by my ISP's smart host.

I used 'eximconfig', but it didn't seem to set a good configuration for my
needings.
I have changed for a lot of times "/etc/exim.conf" but I can deliver
locally
only.

When I send e-mails to internet, my exim's configuration seems to work
fine,
butmy addresses don't receive my e-mails at all.
When I run 'fetchmail' it says something like this :
   "Error 550, SMTP error, I can't relay mail for the following addresses :
 ...."

NOTE 1: my ISP's user name is different than my Linux's user name,
        so I need to use the exim's DB-rewrite feature,
        that I tested successfully with 'exim -brw <address>'.
NOTE 2: my ISP connection works fine and it is well configured.
NOTE 3: '.fetchmailrc' is well configured too.

I don't know if I have to change something in '/etc/host' or what...
Please, is there anybody who can show me where I have to put the following
parameters in '/etc/exim.conf' ?

my hostname      :  xyz
Linux's user name:  myself_linux
my ISP account   :  myself
my address       :  myself@mail.company.it
SMTP server      :  smtp.mail.company.it
POP3 server      :  pop3.mail.company.it


THANKS TO ALL.
