Re: [Exim] New exim user

When I run exim -bt davidturetsky@???

I get:

david@
<---davidturetsky@???
deliver to david@
router-smarthost, transport=remote_smtp
host msn.com [207.46.176.152]
host msn.com [207.46.185.39]

I added in 'email' to the address and a similar entry to resolv.conf (as
well as smtp.email.msn.com)

Rerunning the attempt to flush the spool with the domain nomenclature change
to @email.msn.com or @smtp.msn.com produced the same result as originally
posted

I made a few modifications to exim.conf (which follows):

added entry for local_domains=free:email.msn.com (for list application)

removed entry after qualify_domain = (leaving rhs blank)

added .com to route_list in smarthost section (to resolve 'lookup of host
"msn" failed in smarthost router')

Here is exim.conf, with most comments removed (except pending section for
mailing list)

qualify_domain =
local_domains = free:email.msn.com
local_domains_include_host = true
local_domains_include_host_literals = true

          {${if def:sender_ident {from ${sender_ident} }}}}\
          by ${primary_hostname} \
          ${if def:received_protocol {with ${received_protocol}}} \
          (Exim ${version_number} #${compile_number} (Debian))\n\t\
          id ${message_id}"

have queued a few messages using elm and exim as a test. These messages and
a bunch of mail from vim were sitting seemingly stuck at /var/spool/exim. I
