Re: exim headaches



What I ended up doing was configuring two copies of exim, based on
instructions I found in the Exim FAQ at <http://www.exim.org/>.  The
primary copy delivers only local mail, and doesn't perform header
rewriting.  Non-local messages are forwarded to the second copy over
port 26, which performs header rewriting.

If the aforementioned FAQ doesn't answer your questions, let me know
and I'll throw together some more detailed instructions.

Cheers!
