    Thanks!  I admit to being a bit chuffed<g>.  It is a PITA
    to have to ssh into this globaltap account, and most
    depressing not to be able to use your accustomed methods.

    Now this I'm not grasping.  In an earlier life(Debian Squeeze)
    when I was running P*stf*x, I could send mail to myself, and
    it would be "delivered locally".  But E-mail sent to 
    anyone else would go up to his.com to be delivered by them,
    with the usual address rewriting.


    Incidentally, my local machine here is   alanmcc.localdomain .


Let me rephrase the question more generally. Suppose there were
three local users; alan, ben, and charles. Can exim be configured
so that if ben wants to send mail to charles he uses whatever his
MUA to enter 'charles' and the mail stays here; presumable charles
could sent messages to 'alan' and 'ben' and the mail would stay
here. But any other message, with a more complete address --
way to superman@???, would get sent off by exim to
krypton.org and to Superman's mbox(we know Superman doesn't use
Maildir, don't we?)

I bet there is a way of doing this with exim, and I bet you and
lots of others here know how.

Thanks for your reply and I look forward to your answer.
