Hi.
I'm new to exim and have just installed it and am (I think) quite close to
getting it working. I am running fetchmail to get my email from my ISP (email
address is mshack@???) and it successfully delivers that mail to
exim running on my local net server lsmtsrvr1.lakeshore.com (192.168.1.1), a
local network completely unknown to the internet (as you'll see).
I am testing sending email from an account I have as mshack@???,
and trying to get it through my ISP account mshack@??? all the way
to my LOCAL mailbox (on lsmtsrvr1.lakeshore.com) whose email address is
jmshack@??? (in /var/spool/mail/jmshack). By the way,
sendmail works fine, but I want the added antispam capabilities of exim....
When mail is delivered, "exim -d10 -bd -q1h" displays the following error
messsage:
routing jmshack@lakeshore, domain lakeshore
lookuphost router called for jmshack@lakeshore: dns lookup: route_domain =

It appears that it's trying to do a DNS lookup on lakeshore.com, which will
certainly fail as lakeshore.com (at least mine) is not registered. If that
sounds like the error (an error is eventually returned to the sender, see below
for full details), any suggestions would be helpful. Whatever, the mail never
makes it into jmshack's mailbox on lsmtsrvr1.lakeshore.com.
Thanks for any help. And sorry for the length, but I wanted to make sure I
gave what I knew of the relevant facts.
Mark
