I'd guess that the problem is that you don't have exim setup properly for address rewriting. See /etc/email-addresses. You want exim to rewrite to whatever you've agreed with your ISP. Looks like this should be hartford-hwp.com I've never done maildrop (if that's what you're doing) but for a normal home ISP you have e.g. dtutty:[EMAIL PROTECTED] So that exim rewrite mail from local user dtutty to from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exim then sends this off to my ISP (porchlight.ca) which accepts it, once it does authTLS (different subject).
