I think you _have_ to add a "local_domains" setting with the default
file... since there really can't be a default for 'local' information..

I *think* if you add

local_domains = @

it will set it to be the hostname of the machine it runs on, which would
roughly approximate would exim 3 did.. This is off the top of my head
though, I could be wrong.. I'm almost sure my syntax is wrong..

Although of course that should probably be part of the default config..

Hrm..

Ive just gone and had a look at the default file, and it includes the
following stanza.. You might want to check and make sure it hasnt been
lost in yours..

# These three settings create two lists of domains and one list of hosts. These
# lists are referred to later in this configuration using the syntax
# +local_domains, +relay_to_domains, and +relay_from_hosts, respectively. They
# are all colon-separated lists:

domainlist local_domains = @
domainlist relay_to_domains =
hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1
