"Outside" means a machine on the Net, not one on your private
network, right?
> -relevent information(?): the external nameserver is not at present aware of the existence of hostB. however it is listed in the 'etc/hosts' file: i can ping and send mail *from* hostA; it's just getting exim on hostA to relay which is the problem.
Do you have an MX record for hostB.yourdoma.in (and everything
else under yourdoma.in) pointing to hostA.yourdoma.in on your
external nameserver?
