I appreciate this! If only the Exim folk could write manpages/docs that were
as helpful as this, I'd be done in no time. I mentioned in an email just
before (with another title) that I simply added my username and real email
address to the /etc/email-addresses file, like this:
rusty: rhires@earthlink.net
Then it fixed all the headers and such. Having my own address at my own
computer sounds attractive, but I'm thinking that if verizon won't send mail
via smtp, it certainly won't act as a mail exchanger...but I don't understand
enough about all that, anyway...
Now that I've got something that works, I'll play with these settings and see
what happens....
