I didn't find much on the list. (sigh) Why didn't you say that in the first place? Are we supposed to read your mind? And BTW "DNS" does not "send mail". I think what you meant to say is that you have an MX record that indicates that your machine is a relay for the 'mydomain.com' domain. Yes, exim will do that. You're better off editing the exim.conf file and reading its comments. The exim manual is large, because exim can be used to do a lot of things. You should also read the exim FAQ on exim.org, specifically Q0320, which suggests something like the following in your routers section: mydomain_forward: driver = redirect domains = mydomain.com data = me AT myisp DOT com That should forward any message destined for @mydomain.com to 'me AT myisp DOT com' You'll also have to add mydomain.com to the local domains list in order for exim to accept the mail.
