The configuration has rewrite rules to fully-qualify that name, so I wonder if the relay checks take place before the rewrite rules are applied? The FQDN appears in the relay_domains file mentioned in the partial-lsearch, but the partially qualified name does not.
I've only had Exim on our mail machine since Saturday, but here goes. We
have two domains for which smtp/local mail must be served, so I
encountered your problem immediately. Take a look at the configure
parameter local_domains. Make sure that you have at least: local_domains
= user@machine:user@domain.
Works for us, anyway - wasn't possible with MMDF. I'm just getting my
teeth into it (compiling was bad enough).
When will we be getting imap, Philip?
