exim doesn't work both ways



Have recently set up exim on my woody box which is networked to my win xp workstation, the latter also serving as internet gateway.

Using the default /usr/bin/mail mua on woody and eudora on xp whose intranet name is delliver. Woody's inetd.conf file specifies

smtp            stream  tcp     nowait  mail    /usr/sbin/exim exim -bs
pop-2    stream tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/ipop2d
pop-3    stream tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/ipop3d

Delliver's account for the lan says to use woody for smtp and pop with a login name of dad, which is account both on delliver and woody.

Can send an email from delliver to dad@woody and receive it on woody, but when I attempt to send an email from woody to dad@delliver it doesn't get there. delliver is pingable from woody.

Did I forget to mention email is a big mystery to me at this point?
