Αντικείμενο: [Exim] conf: removing 'host' from 'host.domain.com'
Hello all,

I am using Exim on Debian Linux 2.1 (slink) and configured
using eximconfig script that comes with it. I am a dialup
user over a modem line. My machine name is 'genome' and my
domain is 'avesthagen.com'. I have setup a domain-wide
forwarding mail for 'anyone@???' at my ISP and all
mails come to my POP account 'me@???'. I then use
fetchmail via POP and deliver to all users locally. Exim is
working fine except for 2 things:

1. All outgoing mails carry From: user@???
I need to set this to be From: user@???
The people receiving mails that origniate from my machine,
won't be able to reply since genome.avesthagen.com is not
set on the Internet and hence bounces back. How do I accomplish
this?

2. My local users are not able to send mail using Eudora/outlook
express. Relaying denied. Why and how to fix?

I am attaching my exim.conf file.

# to do any local deliveries, uncomment the following line, but do not supply
# any data for it. This sets local_domains to an empty string, which is not
# the same as not mentioning it at all. An empty string specifies that there
# are no local domains; not setting it at all causes the default value (the

# No local deliveries will ever be run under the uids of these users (a colon-
# separated list). An attempt to do so gets changed so that it runs under the
# uid of "nobody" instead. This is a paranoic safety catch. Note the default
# setting means you cannot deliver mail addressed to root as if it were a
# normal user. This isn't usually a problem, as most sites have an alias for
# root that redirects such mail to a human administrator.

never_users = root

# The setting below causes Exim to do a reverse DNS lookup on all incoming
# IP calls, in order to get the true host name. If you feel this is too
# expensive, you can specify the networks for which a lookup is done, or

# this field when it is creating "sender" and "from" headers. If these options

######################################################################


# This transport is used for local delivery to user mailboxes. On debian

# as the user's own group, into a sticky-bitted directory)

# or .forward files. It has a conventional name, since it is not actually
# mentioned elsewhere in this configuration file. (A different name *can*
# be specified via the "address_pipe_transport" option if you really want
# to.) If the pipe generates any standard output, it is returned to the sender
# of the message as a delivery error. Set return_fail_output instead if you
# want this to happen only when the pipe fails to complete normally.

# This transport is used for handling file addresses generated by alias

# mentioned elsewhere in this configuration file.

address_file:
driver = appendfile

# This transport is used for handling file addresses generated by alias
# or .forward files if the path ends in "/", which causes it to be treated
# as a directory name rather than a file name. Each message is then delivered
# to a unique file in the directory. If instead you want all such deliveries to
# be in the "maildir" format that is used by some other mail software,
# uncomment the final option below. If this is done, the directory specified
# in the .forward or alias file is the base maildir directory.
#
# Should you want to be able to specify either maildir or non-maildir
# directory-style deliveries, then you must set up yet another transport,
# called address_directory2. This is used if the path ends in "//" so should
# be the one used for maildir, as the double slash suggests another level
# of directory. In the absence of address_directory2, paths ending in //
# are passed to address_directory.

# This director handles aliasing using a traditional /etc/aliases file.
# If any of your aliases expand to pipes or files, you will need to set

# string "# Exim filter": to disable filtering, uncomment the "filter"
# option. The check_ancestor option means that if the forward file
# generates an address that is an ancestor of the current one, the
# current one gets passed on instead. This covers the case where A is
# aliased to B and B has a .forward file pointing to A.

# For standard debian setup of one group per user, it is acceptable---normal
# even---for .forward to be group writable. If you have everyone in one
# group, you should comment out the "modemask" line. Without it, the exim
# default of 022 will apply, which is probably what you want.
