Description of problem: Exim gives error when sending mail to '@localhost' or '@localhost.localdomain' addresses. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): exim-4.62-2.fc5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run 'exim -bt root@localhost' or 'exim -bt root' 2. 3. Actual results: Error produced: exim -bt root@localhost root@localhost is undeliverable: Unrouteable address Expected results: Exim should deliver the mail to the local host. Additional info: Sendmail produces correct result and delivers mail to the local host. As such both exim and sendmail should perhaps do the same (similar) thing? Some software seems to use the '@localhost' address - e.g. Apache in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (httpd-2.2.2-1.0). The admin address is given as 'ServerAdmin root@localhost'. This will obviously fail if used. Also /etc/warnquota.conf (quota-3.13-1.2.1), which contains 'CC_TO = "root@localhost"'. Possible solution: The default exim.conf file contains: domainlist local_domains = @ This could be changed to: domainlist local_domains = @ : localhost : localhost.localdomain Testing then gives: exim -bt root@localhost root@localhost router = localuser, transport = local_delivery John.
