It is a mail server. My "ISP" is my school, and that is one of the mail servers they have (the Comp Sci department has their own as well, though I am not aware of any others). If I type a different address (using telnet) as the envelope-from then the mail gets delivered properly. | The route_list assignment under smarthost must refer to your ISP. | If you do not have a direct link to mail.rit.edu, it should not | work, I think. I don't know how "direct" (you don't mean that the TCP packets can't have multiple IP hops, do you?) the connection is. I can check traceroute from that machine later. I'm at work right now and this 'doze box doesn't have traceroute. However, sending mail using telnet with a decent envelope-from address works fine. Conclusion : as Miguel said, I need to change the envelope-from address that exim uses to send the messages.
