apps)
Thank you both, 'foo.com' isnt the actual domain name it was just an
example as I didn't want to spam the list with my actual domain.
The MX records point to googlemail and exim -bt prints out information
for googlemail. I did the exim -d -M thing and got reams of output I
don't yet comprehend but one of the complaints was about there being
no account for 'root@???' who is the sender but who doesn't exist
at googlemail. I am going to crawl through the diagnostics and come up
with a next step.
