I'm sorry, but I have found cases in which these routers don't work. Usually
there is something specified like:

        example.org     MX 10   mail.a4a.de


Now I found that all subdomains of example.com are broken regarding e-mail;
I get:

$ exim4 -bt info@???
R: dnslookup_not_yet_hosted for info@???
LOG: MAIN
remote host address is the local host: sub.example.org (while routing <info@???>)
info@??? cannot be resolved at this time:
remote host address is the local host
$

Why isn't that passed on to the local routers? Do I have to set up MX
records for *.example.org?

Thanks,
Peter
