Hey. I have a problem here, I'm missing e-mail occasionaly, so I want to
share whatever is needed to find the cause of the problem.

Yes. If I would put it in the local domain listing it wouldn't get
forwarded to the other server.

Remember, the mail is coming in on damogran.local and most of it is
forwarded to krikkit.local. If I would put krikkit.local in the local
domain listing of damogran.local, the mail would no longer be forwarded
to krikkit but would be locally deliverd at damorgan. Am I right?

But, you do come up with an interesting thing. I can configure exim to
do sender checks for all addresses except for the ones that are local
or relay-to domains, can't I? That wouldn't be a very beautifull
solution, but I guess it would solve my problem.

I guess I would need to have this one:

 # Deny unless the sender address can be verified.
  require verify        = sender


to be extended with a domains variable with all local and relay-to
domains listed and negated. Right?

It happens for several domains: rz.nl.eu.org, rz.xs4all.nl, spamvrij.nl
and sisterray.xs4all.nl. The DNS of the first one is done by myself at
one of the other machines in the network, the other three domains are
done by two different providers in two different networks.
