any idea's what could be causing these messages to be frozen??

in my conf i have this:

domainlist local_domains = @thedigitaldream.co.uk:crystalphase.com:team-zenturion.com:zen-network.com

so all the domains are handled

any idea?

Thanx

Could be that it cannot be delivered if you allow relaying of mail.

I'm assuming your sending these messages to yourself? Do the users you're sending these e-mails to really exist?

Regardless, you may wish to pickup th O'Reilly Exim book (they even have an online version now)

what do you mean

the configuration file is the default config

the only thing i have changed is the local domains

and the allow relay hosts, which i added 192.168.0.0/24 to so that the local network can send mail

The messages you are trying to relay might not be getting delivered.

messages leave the system fine

but all recieved messages just go into /var/spool/exim_mail

with really weird file names

how do u get them into a format readable by a pop3 server

??
