It doesn't know who me is.  You have to alias me to whoever your ISP
knows as me.

It is only if you are using us to read the docs for you.


Read the exim doc (spec.txt) IIRC.  also look at
/etc/email-addresses.dpkg-dist

you have to set up the /etc/email-addresses file like this

#example only
#User =   USER@ISP
me      s14b23@mindspring.com
billy   s14b23@mindspring.com

HTH=Hope This Helps, YMMV=Your Mileage May Vary, HAND=Have A Nice Day
