Re: exim doesn't work both ways
Apologies in advance, this has ended up being a very long reply.

Are you actually using the email address dad@delliver ? I believe based
on what you've said that you would in fact want to send email to
dad@woody.
My lan includes these three machines:
Woody - debian woody
Swamisalami - fbsd 3.8
Delliver - win xp
Each of those machines have a dad account and are pingable from the other
two by the name given - fwiw there are two other boxes on my lan but why
over complicate things?
My /etc/email-addresses contains one line
dad: marty@ulster.net
'marty@ulster.net' is my email address through my isp.
On Woody I sent emails to dad@[woody,swamisalami,delliver]. These were
received on Woody and Swamisalami, not on Delliver.
However I got the following sent through my isp on Delliver, sorry for the
verboseness not sure where it ought to be trimmed.

Well, you haven't really given us enough info ... you say that the email
doesn't get there. Does Eudora produce any error messages, and if so, what
are they?
Nothing I can see from Eudora.
What do your exim logs say?
/var/log/exim/rejectlog is empty
/var/log/exim/mainlog contains the following entries pertaining to the last
