Usualy exim picks my full address out of /etc/email-addresses. Never really thought about it but sending mail doesn't seem to involve /etc/mailname or exim overwrites that /etc/email-addresses correctly. I fixed the /etc/mailname now so either way the source will be happy. Thx. > Thanks, Mt. MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
