Exim is treating the messages as if they *don't* appear in local_domains, so first check: - Are you running Exim as a daemon? If so, make sure you stop & restart it. - Is the spelling really really right, and the local_domains setting in the right section (near the top) of exim.conf, and do you really have only one local_domains setting? - Are you sure Exim is using the config file you think it's using? You can verify that Exim is reading the correct value for local_domains by running as root # exim -bP local_domains There is a generic router option called "self" that you can use to force Exim to accept itself as an MX for domains not listed in local_domains, but you shouldn't use it - find and fix the problem you have, rather than working around it and introducing a potential DOS weakness. Finally, once a message is frozen it stays that way until you change it (unless you have used the auto_thaw option in exim.conf), so even once things are working OK you'll have to use something like # exim -M <message-id> .... to place them back in the delivery queue.
