Hi,

I am building a small home network with just three computers --
one desktop (serving as a server connecting to the Internet via
dial-up) and two notebooks.

What I would like to achieve is that emails from any of the three
computers would be centralized through the desktop and then
either left there (and downloaded to the notebooks by other
means) or send to the exims on the notebooks.

I begun with configuring exim (using version 3.35 from
Debian/woody updated from the latest security updates) no
notebook with eximconfig as a ``satellite node'' which would send
all messages to the desktop (see attached diff-new configuration
file -- diff is made against
/usr/share/doc/exim-tls/example.conf.gz).

I have also exim.conf which I used to use for the sending emails
through ppp0 connection on the notebook and which I have now
slightly modified for the server (diff-orig).

However, when I try to send an email from the notebook to
matej@???, it is immediately frozen. And when I try
'exim -qff -d' I get the error messages found in exim.log.

Even when browsing throughout whole documentation of Exim (in the
info form), I cannot find the reason why it doesn't work.
I thought that the key issue would be setting of local_domains on
the notebook computer. However, it doesn't seem to help.

Could you explain me, please, what I am doing incorrectly?

Thanks a lot,

      Matej Cepl

As a rule of thumb, the more qualifiers there are before the name
of a country, the more corrupt the rulers. A country called The
Socialist People's Democratic Republic of X is probably the last
place in the world you'd want to live.
