I have a linux machine (192.168.1.4) on my lan that runs exim. I have
an OpenBSD machine (192.168.1.1) that serves as a router to the internet
via a connection to my ISP.
My ISP's smtp-server has been getting really flaky lately, so I decided to
try using exim on the linux machine as an SMTP server for my LAN.
So if in pine (on the linux box running Exim) I set the smtp server to be
"localhost" (192.168.1.4) and I try to send a message to anywhere, The
message gets frozen with the following text:
--
Message 15PRzk-0002KY-00 has been frozen. The sender is
<jeffm@???>.
The following address(es) have yet to be delivered:
jeffm@???: remote host address is the local host
--
In this example, I've tried sending a message to my own address, which is
hosted somewhere far, far away. boxybutgood.com is definitely not the
local host. I can try sending messages to any other address as well, and
I get the same problem.
Here's what the entry in /var/log/exim/mainlog looks like....

Q0301(A) doesn't seem to be the problem, as these hosts are definitely not
local domains.
Q0301(B) doesn't seem to be the problem... If I understand the FAQ
correctly, I'd have to set up a rule for each domain I wanted to send mail
to.
Q0301(C) might be the problem, but I wouldn't know how to check. I'm not
running my own DNS server, and my ISP's DNS server has posed no problems
before with any other network app, including when I used to use sendmail
to do this stuff.
For some reason, I think this section of my configuration file might be
the problem...
