RE: exim (II)
If they are the same then you don't have the issue I'm talking about.
When fetchmail gets some mail to yourisplogon@yourisp.com it gives it to
exim, which tries to deliver to the logon name in the email's TO header. So
it tries to find somebody called yourisplogon on your local machine (ie,
localhost). My problem was that my ISP name (tka104) and my local name
(seal) were different - exim tried to find tka104, failed, and bounced the
whole lot back! So I aliased tka104 to seal, and the tka104 part got
resolved.
So you can safely ignore all this, because your names are the same. (but
check for case)
