Hi,
I'm trying to configure exim to forward outgoing mail to a sendmail
gateway, as per FAQ Q0302. Trouble is, Exim stopped to RECEIVE mail when
I commented out lookuphost and put in
send_to_gateway:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "* 10.0.0.1 byname"
When trying to send mail to users on exim, I'll get this:

The exim machine has no access to the DNS, it can only see 10.0.0.1,
which has a proven working sendmail. Users currently use 10.0.0.1, but
they want to use liam.moraviapress.cz, which should forward outgoing
mail to 10.0.0.1.
