Re: exim wierdness
I am embarassed to say that it sent me a message to mail, and I read it
and it disappeared after that, but got results below. I have sent more
mails from mutt, but now they just disappear with not mail being sent to
me, but the command you gave below seems to duplicate the error.

I ran the command below.

What does '/usr/sbin/exim -bt rohan.nicholls@informaat.nl' produce?
rohannLinux:~$ /usr/sbin/exim -bt rohan.nicholls@informaat.nl
user "rohan.nicholls" for file existence test not found
rohan.nicholls@informaat.nl is undeliverable:
unknown local-part "rohan.nicholls" in domain "informaat.nl"
This is the same message I was being sent in the mail messages.
I have just tried to another account with a '.' in the local part, and
it succeeded.
I think the stuff about local-part and thinking it is the informaat.nl
domain mailer is correct.
So now these work:
nichollsrohan@hotmail.com
rohan.nicholls@canoemail.com
and this does not:
rohan.nicholls@informaat.nl
When exim installed it ran what I assume is eximconfig, and confused me
terribly. How do I get it to stop thinking it is the domain mailer, and
just send the mail, which it is doing a good job of except to my work
addresses....
I am presuming of course that informaat.nl is *not* the mail domain
for you Debian machine.
That is right, it is my work domain.
thanks again for the responses guys,
exim is something I have not grocked at all and even after reading the
documentation I am still confused.
