Hello All,
I am using exim 3.20 on a linux box as my mail router, and have to
send all mail through bellsouth.net (whoopie!).
I can initiate e-mail manually just fine. But when exim has to reject
a message and send a failure notice back to the sender, it doesn't
include the (source) e-mail address in the SMTP "MAIL FROM" line to
bellsouth.
For example, here is debug output (from the command line, "exim -bp
-d11" (sorry it's long - I trimmed out some of the info to keep it
short). Look where I put the "###" comments.

What would cause exim not to send the e-mail address in the smtp "MAIL
FROM" line?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
