This error occurs when your exim config makes exim think it is
supposed to deliver the message via remote_smtp, but the DNS records
show that the exim server itself IS the "remote" smtp server. If it
tried to deliver it that way, you would have a nice loop on yourself
that would kill the machine.
| What do I need to do to have exim deliver to mail on itself?
What you're really looking for is the proper configuration that tells
exim what domains it are "local" and how to handle local deliveries.
What is the FQDN of the frozen message? What are the values of (IIRC
the exim3 options correctly)
local_domains
qualify_domain
Since you're using the debian package, there is a perl script called
'eximconfig' you can run to generate a "personalized" version of one
of 4 standard/common configurations that works. For simplicity, maybe
you could post the questions (since I don't remember them exactly) and
your answers so we can correct them.
