My local user belongs to trusted_users and trusted-groups (mail). Everything else than a -t flag in my .muttrc causes: exim: neither action flags nor mail addresses given (don't really know what mutt gives to exim).
So it seems I have to use my /etc/exim.conf to rewrite my Sendername (localuser@myhostname) to avoid a rejection from my ISP (550 Sender verify failed). But that didn't work (I did smthg wrong) - I tried in my /etc/exim.conf rewrite section: *@localuser@myhostname usernamemyISPexpects Ffrs In the error-mail the sender is still localuser@myhostname I tried also without the frs flags. TIA (it seems I'm very close to get my email running - at last) Dieter > | > * How do I tell exim (/etc/exim.conf) to rewrite any sender name of > | > a local user with "username" (I'm a single user on my laptop)? or > > | Try this in your /etc/exim/exim.conf or /etc/email-addresses > | > | *@your_hostname [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffrs > ^^^^ > > Only use all of those flags if you want the From: and Reply-To: > headers modified as well.
