Be warned - getting exim4 working can be an adventure. For example - my machine is on my local lan, so it really doesn't have a true internet name. So long ago I called it aptiva. That was in /etc/mailname. exim3 was fine with this. exim4 started to put [EMAIL PROTECTED] into the envelope and ignored entries in /etc/email-addresses or config entries asking to rewrite it! Final resolution was to put the (just as bogus) aptive.optonline.net into /etc/mailname and turn on (in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf) dc_hide_mailname='true' and dc_readhost='optonline.net' which got things working. Then email-addresses worked and I could set my account to appear to send mail from my real email address. Experts problably are saying "of course", but I challenge you to find any documentation that would help here. I just flailed till it worked! For anyone having trouble configuring exim3, exim4 will be IMHO a true adventure. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
