Now it seems that exim sends the mail to smarthost eventhough the mail is from fetchmail and is meant for you. What is your fetchmailrc like? Mine is like this: poll incoming.myisp.com user username_in_isp password secret is username_local_user Also make sure that your /etc/mailname is set correctly. I have something.myisp.com (where something is the dynamic part of my FQDN) as the mailname and I also have that in the dc_other_hostnames list. I guess the main problem here is the name of your machine. See also the question G11 in /usr/share/doc/fetchmail/fetchmail-FAQ.html.
