I'm a little confused. I made the change in exim.conf, how is that
going to have an effect on other applications?

| 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.MYEMPLOYER.com
I already have:
127.0.0.1 mercury localhost

| /etc/resolv.conf "lookup file bind" on BSDish systems
| /etc/nsswitch.conf "hosts: files dns" on SysV (including GNU/Linux) systems
Yep, I've got that too. The odd wrinkle seems to be my /etc/resolv.conf
which had some leftover things from the last time I was behind the firewall.
search east.MYEMPLOYER.com MYEMPLOYER.com
nameserver 24.216.219.12
Be seeing you,
