This was exactly my problem, when doing a quick configuration with eximconfig. Mail sent to my fillow students would not be delivered to the university (my ISP), because the system thought, these mails were local. Right now I am using Netscape, so this is not a big issue, but doing mail under Netscape is not the way to go. The other problem I have with eximconfig is that it will only deliver 10 mails at a time and then pause for a (unknown) delay. This occurs when fetchmail gets mail from my ISP and passes it on to exim. Again, not a big issue, and I haven't even tried to fix it. Anyway, I guess I'll go with exim.
