Maybe. I am not too sure about that. If you own a domain, use
something like local.yourdomain.com, or if not, use something like
domain.example or domain.local. .example is reserved in an RFC, but
chances are good that .local will not get into global use any time soon.

I have a local link from /usr/local/bin/exim to /usr/sbin/exim4. We
cannot put that one in the packages.

That one looks good.

This one is a successful delivery.

And you say that messages delivered from your mail user agent are
still not getting through?
