Bug#831876: When sending a mail to a local machine user, I get “Unroutable address” in exim logs

Bug : When sending a mail to a local machine user, I get “Unroutable address” in exim logs

How to :  echo “mail body” |  mail -s "subject" remoteuser at remotemachine

Details:


nsswitch.conf:



...

hosts:          files dns

...



And  /etc/host.conf:



order    hosts,bind         <<<< added +  network restarted

multi on



so it should work but exim does not seem to take that into consideration



sudo exim -bP |grep lookup_order

host_lookup_order = bydns:byaddr
