Hi *,

as described to FAQ Q1201, I added localhost to the local domain list
in exim.conf as this:

domainlist local_domains = @ : localhost

But fetchmail doesn't stop to complain:

,----
| ...
| fetchmail: SMTP< 250 OK
| fetchmail: SMTP> RCPT TO:<monsorno@localhost>
| fetchmail: SMTP< 550 Administrative prohibition
| fetchmail: SMTP listener doesn't really like recipient address `monsorno@localhost'
| fetchmail: SMTP> RCPT TO:<monsorno@localhost>
| fetchmail: SMTP< 550 Administrative prohibition
| fetchmail: can't even send to monsorno!
| ...

`----

I'm using exim 4.24, could it be a problem with this version?


BTW: why isn't localhost in the local domain list in the default
configuration file? This seems to be the most used configuration, or
not?
