Subject: RE: [Exim] Remote delivery problem on dialup
Wow! Where did you come up w/this stuff?!?

cyclops.geolan.cxm is the fqdn I gave my machine, but in testing
this stuff, I thought something other that x@??? might be causing
the problem, so for some of the testing I just shortened it to the
machine (host) name in /etc/exim.conf for some of the testing.
(I know, that still isn't x@???, but I was tired). So sometime it
was going out fqdn, other times, just the machine name.

So where to correct this? The envelope?, the exim config file?
Wonder why my isp couldn't give me this information.

Now that's neat, George
