I've made some progress simply by defining a set of users+domains on my host mail server. Broadly, now I've got three machines all speaking with each other. However, while the machine running squeeze I'm trying to setup can communcate through an alias on another server and to various addresses, it can't send mail to my current machine to its primary address: exim's error is that it is unroutable.
However, I would assume that for an administrator handling dozens or hundreds of accounts which need access to a mail server, the administrator does not create all these accounts in the mail server nor fill up exim4 configuration files with all the information. It seems more likely there would be a simple alias list to grant user account access to the mail server. As for my present situation, from within the account named "haines" on the new machine, I can send mail to old machine, bro...@historicalmaterialism through a forwarding service on another server and I can send mail to my current machine using an alternative domain name for it, but can't send a message directly to bro...@historicalmaterialism.info. When it comes to digging into exim4's configuration files, it all goes over my head. But I gather from googling that exim4's default is to route to only local mailboxes or domains. If that were do, I'd get nothing out. In any case, I was unable to locate the variable and value DCconfig_internet=1 in all the exim4 configuration files.
