As I looked at the end of exim.conf just now, I saw the following: # This rewriting rule is particularly useful for dialup users who # don't have their own domain, but could be useful for anyone. # It looks up the real address of all local users in a file [EMAIL PROTECTED] ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\ {$value}fail} bcfrF And /etc/email-addresses on my system now looks like this: # This file contains email addresses to use for outgoing mail. Any local # part not in here will be qualified by the system domain as normal. # # It should contain lines of the form: # #user: [EMAIL PROTECTED] #otheruser: [EMAIL PROTECTED] svn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] So, I guess you might like to do it this way, too. :) Thanks for getting me on the right way! This works perfectly here now. Just what I needed! Sven
