Ok philip. Here's what is happening:
I create a message in outlook express from me at this address to me at a
different address (eglidan@???). Then I sent it to exim running on
port 4000 for testing. I am absolutely 100% sure the message was FROM
dan@??? TO eglidan@???.
Oddball thing is that I loaded it up again to display the exact return
strings and it works now. I don't know whats up. It didn't work yesterday
and I made no changes. But now my test port works. I'll keep testing it and
if it keeps working, then great. Otherwise I'll reply back.
