Hello
(details on the context at the end of this mail)
After having used Mr's Hazel advice, I did some tests.
Mails can't be delivered and stay in the queue.
Here is what can be read log window
1997-12-13 09:47:28 0xgZ68-0003bC-00 NT_transport transport found host
sunsiuf1.unifr.ch to be local
In fact the transport NT_transport sets a host (NT) for delivery.
But the MX for the NT-host points to the central server running Exim
hence "local". I though this could be a problem.
Then I set non_mx_domains = NThost.unifr.ch
same result....
Here is also what exim does with this address (prenom.nom@???)
It looks fine, still a doubt about the usage of the MX discipline.

I am feeling a bit lost !
Thanks for your remarks
