No more than me <g>
I've asked, and possibly answered (though I haven't implemented) this
question. Quoting my own recent post here:
I also just found this Exim FAQ, which appears to address the
question I'm concerned with:
http://exim.ping.uio.no/FAQ.html#SEC201
Basically, it's this:
o Rewrite all references to 'karsten' for mail being delivered
outside the local network, changing them to
'kmself@ix.netcom.com'
o Don't modify any references to 'karsten' for mail delivered on
the local host or within the local network.
...I'm getting the impression this isn't the sort of rule Exim likes
to have to deal with. Is Sendmail a better option?
