Bug#280207: exim4-config: Broken config for "mail sent by smarthost; no local mail"

[John Goerzen]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.34-6
Severity: important

I installed exim4 on a new machine on my local network.  This machine
receives no mail itself, but outbound mail should appear to come from
complete.org.  Fairly easy setup.  In Postfix (which I have done this
with many times before), it's a simple "Satellite system"
configuration.  You can see my debconf answers below.

Well, with Exim, I have two problems.

First, any message sent to an address at complete.org -- which should
go to the server -- shows up like this:

2004-11-07 19:57:19 1CQymV-0001bA-BZ <= jgoerzen@complete.org U=jgoerzen P=local S=344
2004-11-07 19:57:19 1CQymV-0001bA-BZ == jgoerzen@complete.org R=hub_user defer (-17): error in redirect data: domain missing or malformed in "jgoerzen@"

That was from an attempt to send a message to jgoerzen@complete.org.

Secondly, it appears to complain about any address with a plus sign in
it, giving an "Unroutable address" reply.  Lots of people use the plus
sign.
