I'm trying to run exim fresh out of the rpm but am running into this error
for any messages being delivered locally. Can anyone interpret for me what
this means and how to remedy the problem? Strangely enough, Exim works
fine delivering messages on my home machine without any alterations to the
config file and it has the same Linux distribution.
RedHat 6.2
exim-3.16-1.i386.rpm

# Runtime configuration file for Exim #
######################################################################
# This is a default configuration file which will operate correctly in
# uncomplicated installations. Please see the manual for a complete list
# of all the runtime configuration options that can be included in a
# configuration file. There are many more than are mentioned here. The
# manual is in the file doc/spec.txt in the Exim distribution as a plain
# ASCII file. Other formats (PostScript, Texinfo, HTML) are available from
# the Exim ftp sites. The manual is also online via the Exim web sites.
# This file has been modified from the standard runtime configuration
# file by the RPM packager, Ganesh Sittampalam. All such changes are
# marked (GS). Please send any suggestions for modification to
# ganesh.sittampalam@???
# This file is divided into several parts, all but the last of which are
# terminated by a line containing the word "end". The parts must appear
# in the correct order, and all must be present (even if some of them are
# in fact empty). Blank lines, and lines starting with # are ignored.
######################################################################
# MAIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS #
######################################################################
# Specify your host's canonical name here. This should normally be the fully
# qualified "official" name of your host. If this option is not set, the
# uname() function is called to obtain the name.
# primary_hostname =
# Specify the domain you want to be added to all unqualified addresses
# here. An unqualified address is one that does not contain an "@" character
# followed by a domain. For example, "caesar@???" is a fully qualified
# address, but the string "caesar" (i.e. just a login name) is an unqualified
# email address. Unqualified addresses are accepted only from local callers by
# default. See the receiver_unqualified_{hosts,nets} options if you want
# to permit unqualified addresses from remote sources. If this option is
# not set, the primary_hostname value is used for qualification.
# qualify_domain =
# If you want unqualified recipient addresses to be qualified with a different
# domain to unqualified sender addresses, specify the recipient domain here.
# If this option is not set, the qualify_domain value is used.
# qualify_recipient =
# Specify your local domains as a colon-separated list here. If this option
# is not set (i.e. not mentioned in the configuration file), the
# qualify_recipient value is used as the only local domain. If you do not want
# 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
# setting of qualify_recipient) to be used.
local_domains = copernicus.astronomers.org, astronomers.org
# If you want to accept mail addressed to your host's literal IP address, for
# example, mail addressed to "user@???", then uncomment the
# following line, or supply the literal domain(s) as part of "local_domains"
# above.
# local_domains_include_host_literals
# 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 use of your host as a mail relay by any host, including the local host
# calling its own SMTP port, is locked out by default. If you want to permit
# relaying from the local host, you should set
#
# host_accept_relay = localhost
#
# If you want to permit relaying through your host from certain hosts or IP
# networks, you need to set the option appropriately, for example
#
# host_accept_relay = my.friends.host : 131.111.0.0/16
#
# If you are an MX backup or gateway of some kind for some domains, you must
# set relay_domains to match those domains. This will allow any host to
# relay through your host to those domains.
#
# See the section of the manual entitled "Control of relaying" for more
# information.
# 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
# remove the setting entirely.
host_lookup = 0.0.0.0/0
# By default, Exim expects all envelope addresses to be fully qualified, that
# is, they must contain both a local part and a domain. If you want to accept
# unqualified addresses (just a local part) from certain hosts, you can specify
# these hosts by setting one or both of
#
# receiver_unqualified_hosts =
# sender_unqualified_hosts =
#
# to control sender and receiver addresses, respectively. When this is done,
# unqualified addresses are qualified using the settings of qualify_domain
# and/or qualify_recipient (see above).
# Exim contains support for the Realtime Blocking List (RBL) that is being
# maintained as part of the DNS. See http://maps.vix.com/rbl/ for background.
# Uncommenting the first line below will make Exim reject mail from any
# host whose IP address is blacklisted in the RBL at maps.vix.com. Some
# others have followed the RBL lead and have produced other lists: DUL is
# a list of dial-up addresses, and ORBS is a list of open relay systems. The
# second line below checks all three lists.
# (GS) add a X-RBL-Warning: header which can be used by users for filtering

# rbl_domains = rbl.maps.vix.com:dul.maps.vix.com:relays.orbs.org
# If you want Exim to support the "percent hack" for all your local domains,
# uncomment the following line. This is the feature by which mail addressed
# to x%y@z (where z is one of your local domains) is locally rerouted to
# x@y and sent on. Otherwise x%y is treated as an ordinary local part.

######################################################################
# Local addresses are those with a domain that matches some item in the
# "local_domains" setting above, or those which are passed back from the
# routers because of a "self=local" setting (not used in this configuration).
# 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
# up a user and a group for these deliveries to run under. You can do
# this by uncommenting the "user" option below (changing the user name
# as appropriate) and adding a "group" option if necessary. Alternatively, you
# can specify "user" on the transports that are used. Note that those
# listed below are the same as are used for .forward files; you might want
# to set up different ones for pipe and file deliveries from aliases.

# This director handles forwarding using traditional .forward files.
# If you want it also to allow mail filtering when a forward file
# starts with the string "# Exim filter", 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. The three transports specified at the
# end are those that are used when forwarding generates a direct delivery
# to a file, or to a pipe, or sets up an auto-reply, respectively.
# (GS) uncomment the following to allow different sets of aliases for
# different virtual domains for your host. Don't forget to create a
