Hello,

I'm desperately trying to configure exim for a couple of days and get
strange errors. I' using mutt and exim on a debian system on a laptop.

I'm trying to do the following:

My local domain is called 'finnendahl.de' (I made that one up, it's not
really existing)

My email Address which appears in the from: part is
'finnendahl@???' (that domain part really exists, but
on a remote machine, I'm not logged into)

My ISP is t-online with a relay server 'smtprelay@???' (which
expands to 'fmrlallmx.t-online.com').

I'm logged in with a dsl connection. BTW: This setup already worked fine
with sendmail and SuSE.

If I try to send mail with exim, I get the following strange errors in
/var/log/exim/mainlog:


2002-06-19 09:33:58 17KZyY-0000CW-00 <= finnendahl@???

2002-06-19 09:33:59 17KZyY-0000Cd-00 Completed

My from address in mutt was set to 'finnendahl@???'
I tried to send to 'orm@???' (another email account
which is valid)

Following are other settings on my laptop which might be interesting:

/etc/mailname contains 'finnendahl.de'
/etc/email-adresses contains 'orm: finnendahl@???'

My local user name is 'orm'

'hostname -a' gives: 'grisey'

I should state that no error messages ever arrive at my email account at
'finnendahl@???'

I also don't have the slightest idea, how the recipients
--@finnendahl.de, delay@??? and failure@??? are
generated (and by whom). All I can say is that they obviously already
appear in the header files of my outgoing mail stored by exim.

I'm completely at loss here. Any help is greatly appreciated!
As I'm not subscribed, please cc replys to my email address.

I'll attach my exim.conf. Sorry for the bandwidth...

# This file is divided into several parts, all but the last of which are

# No local deliveries will ever be run under the uids of these users (a colon-

# normal user. This isn't usually a problem, as most sites have an alias for
# root that redirects such mail to a human administrator.

never_users = root

# The setting below causes Exim to do a reverse DNS lookup on all incoming

# to hold other information in addition to users' real names. Exim looks up
# this field when it is creating "sender" and "from" headers. If these options

# Send a mail to the postmaster when a message is frozen. There are many
# reasons this could happen; one is if exim cannot deliver a mail with no

# systems is if a DNS lookup of a smarthost fails. Read the documentation
# for more details: you might like to look at the auto_thaw option

# This would make exim advertise the 8BIT-MIME option. According to

# set this option you are asking exim to lie and not be RFC
