Nothing special in rejectlog, and mainlog contains, for non-existing user on the
smarthost: (this generates an error mail OK):

Notice: error mail is sent locally by exim. Whereas for a non-existing remote host,
exim transfers to the smarthost without choking:

2000-02-07 19:25:29 12HtmW-0004aO-00 Completed

and I never get any error message, despite the correct From and Sender header
(orloff@clermont.in2p3.fr)

Thanks for caring!
