Sorry the error has been recreated with Shyamal Prasad's suggestion, I
have the error in my response to him.

My guess, based on what you say here, is that you told exim it is
handling the "informaat.nl" domain. That is wrong since you don't own
the domain informaat.nl and are not the administrator of that domain's
mail server.
this is right...
Most likely you don't have an actual domain for your
machine. When you configure exim, tell it the domain is
"localdomain.invalid" or something like that.
I have
qualify_domain = informaat.nl which I have now commented out, and ...
local_domains = localhost:informaat.nl
which I have now changed to:
local_domains = localhost:localdomain.invalid
and that seems to have done it, as I have just sent myself an email at
work and it worked beautifully.
Now to figure out how to get ldap working and connect it with mutt.:)
Thanks for all the help.
