I am afraid but I am not sure if I got what you meant. I have a
local network which is not permanently connected to the internet.
every time i connect to the internet i get a new ip-address and a
new hostname...imagine some users got valid world-usable
addresses and if they send mail to a mixture of local and remote
recipients the headers do not fit for local use or remote use.
"use" means that all header fields are filled correctly and the
recipient can easily click on the reply button to get the wright
address...as i am informed the from aaa@aaa line is used from
mta's to send error messages isnt it ?.

how can i use world usable
addresses in a domain called e.g. blaaa.fasel.de and ip addresses
from 10.0.1.0 to 10.0.1.255 ? i do not think, i should call my
domain a real valid domain-name since i do not own the name and
the corresponding ip. but as i said i probably did not get your
suggestion right.

i have read the faq before but was not satisfied that such an
excellent program like exim can not do what sendmail does.
