Yes. I'm well aware of that, thanks.
The Question Q0428 is:
How can I route mail for user X@local to a smarthost if X doesn't exist
on the local host?
I contend that instead of claiming that this is a duplication of "How do
I configure Exim to send all messages to a central server?", the FAQ
should claim that it is a duplication of "How do I configure Exim to
send messages for unknown local users to a central server?". And so it
should point to Q0403, instead of Q0402, as it does now.
Am I missing something painfully obvious here? (Was my original mail
truly worded that badly?)
