Looks like its trying a bunch of different addresses for the same mail, why is that? > 2007-05-05 13:35:42 1HkJUE-000170-0o *> someone@domain.tld R=smarthost > T=remote_smtp_smartho > st H=smtp.bytemark.co.uk [80.68.81.166] so then the mail ends up getting routed to a smarthost (which you in theory have setup). So the mail is leaving your system and headed to that smarthost. The question is, what happens to it then? Can you please review your setup and how you think it should be working? include stuff like whether it goes to a smarthost or not, whether it runs through a local server or straight from exim on your machine etc etc. A > > I don't see what is happening but this is what I get when I try to mail out. > No error is indicated,but the message sinks without trace.
