Subject: Re: [exim] strange problem with smarthosts
Sorry, Marc. I couldn't access internet for days until last Sunday. I
failed to notice your replay until Ian's mail pulled this thread up to
the top of my mails.

Thank you, Ian. I tried your configuration, but I got the same
results. The results make me wander that exim is looking at the TO
area instead of the FROM area. And I'm also wandering that there are
something wrong with my MUA.

There are something I should explain first. In the previous mails, I
used the "me@???". I find it's confusing, because my email
account is wwguo and my local user is also wwguo. To avoid changing
anything wrong, I just let it be in this mail. My another email
account is the gmail account, me@???, which requires TLS and
wwguo@??? do not.

First, I use Gnus as my MUA. I commented out the following line.

;; (setq user-mail-address "wwguo@???")

and then when I send a mail from wwguo@??? to
another@???, the results changed from

>2006-10-28 14:08:55 1GdhNH-0007gh-6s <= wwguo@localhost U=wwguo

P=local S=488 id=87fyd93rbd.fsf@???

When I send a mail from me@??? to another@???, the results are:

And when I send a mail form me@??? to wwguo@???, the results are:

It seems all my email are go through localhost, not smarthost. I know

my entire configuration here:
