Olaf:

I tried your test:
echo test | exim ingber AT alumni DOT caltech DOT edu
but got in /var/log/exim/exim_main.log
2003-06-18 07:47:19 HGOE2U-0002VO-LO <= ingber AT ingber DOT com U=ingber P=local S=280
2003-06-18 07:47:41 HGOE2U-0002VO-LO alumni.caltech.edu [131.215.49.51]: Network is unreachable
2003-06-18 07:47:41 HGOE2U-0002VO-LO == ingber AT alumni DOT caltech DOT edu R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp defer (114): Network is unreachable

I do not see how to set anything like "smarthost" in my exim.conf file?

Here is a diff between the default /etc/exim.conf file and mine:
