If that is the only entry under "routers", and netlink.co.uk is not in
"local_domains", and yet mail to netlink.co.uk is not sent to
mail.btinternet.com, then that configuration is not being used.
So, *why* is that configuration not being used? What do you get from
exim -bP configure_file
?
Is is using the correct configuration file? What do you get from
ls -l /usr/lib/sendmail
ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail
Does whichever of them exists on your system point to the Exim binary,
and does that binary use the configuration file you are talking about?
If the misdirected messages are arriving from a remote host, or by
TCP/IP to the local host, did you remember to HUP the daemon after
changing the configuration?
What is the output from
exim -d9 -bt xxx@???
?
