Dear exim-users,
I have just configured exim for the first time on a LINUX machine,
but I'm having serious trouble with the domain-names/host-names
which I consider to be a checking problem.
The problem is as follows:
Our host names which appear in MAIL From and other fields contain
"_" - charachters, for example xyz_hp01.vs.dasa.de. This "_" seems
to confuse exim, as the message is being refused and I receive the
following error mail as a result of sending a mail as
hess@vr1e31_hp01.vs.dasa.de to hess@ve1hf3_xt3.vs.dasa.de, the new
LINUX machine with exim running:

How can I get rid of this message "malformed address..." and the mail
delivered as many of our
hosts have names like this.
I would be very thankful if somebody could help me with this problem.
Kind regards
Thomas Hess
