exim is saying it couldn't verify who deshmukh@localhost is.

thanx stephen.

why does exim look for deshmukh@loaclhost? why not sandip@localhost??

how do i make exim look for sandip@localhost and *not* deshmukh@localhost?

how do i tell exim that if it doesnt find someone@localhost, it should deliver the message to sandip@localhost?

This means
that since you don't have a user account named 'deshmukh' (appears to be
sandip, am I right?)

yes - you are right.

If so, add an entry to /etc/aliases like 'deshmukh: sandip'

am doing this as stop gap arrangement till my questions above are answered.

Then fix your .fetchmailrc

HOW? .fetchmailrc sits in /home/sandip directory and seems to be doing its job!

and
remove the no longer needed line from /etc/aliases.

sure i will!

HTH,
Steve

thanx again
