Big mystery where it went. I understand your frustration, but you could try this, if you are game to install exim4 one final time. If not, ignore this message. Install exim4 and edit /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf to look like this: dc_eximconfig_configtype='localhost' dc_other_hostnames='localhost.localdomain' dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1' dc_readhost='debian' dc_relay_domains='' dc_minimaldns='false' dc_relay_nets='' dc_smarthost='' CFILEMODE='644' dc_use_split_config='false' dc_hide_mailname='false' dc_mailname_in_oh='true' Also, edit /etc/mailname, make sure is has your fully qualified domain name. Finally, run update-exim4.conf. Restart exim4. If sending mail to yourself still doesn't work, sorry!
