Hi, I am new to Exim, but have got it up running.
My problem is that when I am sending mail
to external accounts, I get "unrouteable mail domain".
If I send a mail to the internal network,(not the same machine)
everything works fine.
Does anybody know how to correct this??
This is my config file :
# This is the main exim configuration file.
# It was originally generated by `eximconfig', part of the exim package

administrator.
