I am not exactly sure what that means. I use the DNS-servers at my
provider (resolv.conf) and have a small hosts file for the couple of
local boxes I am running.

I will look at my local network more closely. I had to change IP
numbers because of the (very) temporary Win98 gateway I am using. I
am not sure how Mutt sends a message to Exim. Does is originate from
127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.2, or something else? I suspect it's the latter
but I'll have a look at what exactly is defined as local wrt to exim
and my home network.

Thanks for the reply.
