Camaleon, Thanks for your patience, and I seem to have stumbled on my problem: emim4 configuration. Regarding the value for "system mail name", in retrospect it does makes sense, but not when I was reading the document you cited. First, if I can reconstruct my thinking correctly, I failed to asso

Sorry to follow up on my own message, but did some more thinking about the problem. I'm asking Exim4 to send a message to another user having the same domain name. So does this mean exim searches for that user locally rather than ship the message off to my provider's mail server? In my previous

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
