I'm kind of blury eyed here at the moment but I will take a stab at
this. Just to make sure it is "/etc/hosts" not "/etc/host" my default
/etc/hosts had something like -
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.10.10.9 debian.local debian
^^^^^^^^^
IP for your box. So my rewrite rule would look something like -
*debian.local ${loockup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} bcfrF
In my email-addresses I have the following. My user name on the machine
is "kent" Note the space between the user name and email address. Don't
know if it matters but...
kent: ktb@nixnotes.org
Now restart exim with -
# /etc/init.d/exim restart
If that doesn't work. Run the command "hostname" and if it is different
than what you have in /etc/hosts run -
hostname debian
^^^^^
If that is the hostname in your /etc/hosts.
Restart exim.
If that doesn't work comment out the rewrite stuff at the bottom of
/etc/exim.conf and add this in it's place -
Restart exim.
If that doesn't work comment out the rewrite stuff at the bottom of
/etc/exim.conf and add this in it's place -
#*@debian.local ktb@nixnotes.org bcfrF
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Local machine address. Email you want your mail to go out with.
Restart exim.
Maybe I'm missing something here. I'm a little worn out at the end of
the day.
