Thanks again!

The following line is the default in Exim:

domainlist local_domains = @

Are you saying the default is to not accept emails from anywhere
with "exim -bd"???

I would have guessed that by default most would want Exim to accept
emails from *anywhere*. How do I change this line (if I must)
in order to make Exim mail server accept from anybody??

BTW, if my local_domains switch was untouched, I'm curious why
the log we analyzed didn't complain about this.

Can I ask you one more question? :) Do you start your
Exim mail server daemon with "exim -bd"?? i.e. do you add more
switches that are useful for any reason?

Thanks again,

Chris
