exim wierdness

[Rohan Nicholls]

I am finding a problem with exim.

I have read many a manual, visited many a documentation site, with no joy. Could anyone please point me in the right direction....

If I have an email with a '.' in the "localhost" name (before the '@') it gives an error that the "localhost" name is invalid.

This does not happen when the "localhost" name has no '.'.

So:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] - no problem (although this address doesn't exist)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] - gives an error.

This is a little urgent as I would like to use exim as my smtp mailer, because it doesn't mind if I am at work or at home it still delivers mail.:)

But all the mail addresses at work involve the [EMAIL PROTECTED] protocol, so I cannot send any mails to coworkers using mutt.

Thanks in advance,

rohan
