Hi,
I used commandline debuging mode test it, it appeared the routing
between host.mydot.com and mydot.com has mis-configuration. The error is
as follow:
commandline:
# exim -d john@???
...
<snip>
--------> dnslookup router <--------
local_part=root domain=at.mydot.com
checking domains
at.mydot.com in "at.mydot.com:mydot.com"? yes (matched "at.mydot.com")
at.mydot.com in "! +local_domains"? no (matched "! +local_domains")
dnslookup router skipped: domains mismatch
...<snip>...
in exim/mainlog file:
2004-10-12 11:57:08 1CHDmb-00017a-VZ <= root@??? U=root P=local
S=282
2004-10-12 11:57:08 1CHDmb-00017a-VZ ** john@???: Unknown user

2004-10-12 11:57:08 1CHDme-00017c-Ii == root@??? R=localuser
T=local_delivery defer (-29): User 0 set for local_delivery transport is

Thanks
