Actually, I think you're really close. See below.

so i wish, too!

Good.

| the other one - [EMAIL PROTECTED] was never received!

As far as exim is concerned it was.  The machine whose address is
192.168.100.1 accepted full responsibility to ensure that the message
wsa delivered or that a bounce was returned to the sender.  Does the
NT box actually work?

sure it does! as i said, in my current configuration of mozilla on linux as well as my windows configuration, the same nt box acts as an smtp server!

 Also, you should fix that sender address --
you'll never get a bounce unless it originates on your own machine.
With the eximconfig-generated config, you can fix the sender address
by putting
   sandip: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
in /etc/email-addresses.

i will do that.

If you go to the NT box, can you ping "deshmukh.work"? I suspect you
won't be able to, and that's why you can't get bounce messages -- no
machine knows who your machine is!

i agree with you. i also think i wont be able to ping deshmukh.work from the nt box. now, how do i tackle this problem? because an entry in /etc/aliases in local machine wont help - am i right?

HTH,

thanx
