Why would you do that?  How do your local (intranet) users get their
mail?

Mail to/from users on the local net are handled by a mail (exim) server inside the firewall. This works very well. The only issue is getting machine generated mail from the fw to the internal mail server. Disabling local delivery (local to the firewall) forces exim on the firewall to look for the appropriate mail server.


Any suggestions on how to tell the firewall to send mail to the
internal mail server?  Is it an exim or firewall config issue?

Exim, I think.
