Uh.. 'tarot' has two interfaces. The private interface is
'tarot.mentasm.org' which resolves by my local DNS server with IP
address of 192.168.1.1. The public interface is ferret.phonewave.net,
which is a fixed IP address provided by my ISP.
Tarot's mailer is configured to do header rewriting on any mails which
leave my network, by converting addresses of the form foo@*.mentasm.org
to foo@ferret.phonewave.net.
It looks like the mail leaving the DHCP client 'bicycle' does not use
the FQDN, which would be 'bicycle'+'.'+'mentasm.org' on this network.
My server's exim.conf was attached in the original message. Perhaps
someone could suggest an alternate rewrite rule?
