Thanks for yr reply,
It seems to be the case that exim insists on add ing qualification to
unqualified addresses, however, here's a teaser, I know that an exim mta
(version 3.36) does do this, somebody has managed to configure it to pass
out (we're all on a big private network) unqualified addresses. Now I'm
using Exim 4.30, so I'm wondering if 3.36 wasn't so stringent.
I know that their MTA does this, because I have the traces and I can see
Exim 3.36 in the banner.
Cheers
Steve
