Thanks for the tip, I tried it out, and exim does everything that's
expected and accepts the mail. When doing a

echo "bla" | mailx -s "blabla" monsorno@localhost

the mail perfectly gets delivered.

/But/ when running fetchmail, the same stuff happens as described in
my former posting. I suppose it depends on the direct delivery
attempt of fetchmail over SMTP, but the exim's answer gives no clue,
if this is the reason why delivery fails. Anyway, if localhost is in
local_domains, is this not enough to make SMTP delivery from localhost
work?
