If exim is configured properly, local mail should just get delivered locally. Check your local_domains setting; it controls what domains exim will deliver locally for. How does it work right now? The mail goes through your ISP and comes back to your exim again and then exim delivers it locally? That's odd. The only way I can imagine that happening is if your qualify_recipient (or qualify_domain if the former is unset) is something that is not in local_domains, but gets rewritten on the way out to something that is, or some other such convolution. Or do you mean your mail gets delivered to a mailbox on your ISP's server and you use POP or IMAP to get it back? Exim can be made to do what you want it to do, but it may take a bit more knowledge about your current config to get there. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- Satan laughs when we kill each other.
