Can I suggest that the following change is made to the default exim
configure file, since it took me quite a bit of digging around mailing list
archives and documentation to work out how to do it.
I had a whole load of spam bounces stuck permanently in the queue because
their domains were pointing at localhost. I can't see any legitimate case
for a domain to point a localhost, so I think that it would be sensible to
add to the default configuration.
Regards,
Brian.
