[Pkg-exim4-users] How does exim3 recognizes that some hosts belongs to its domain?

[Matej Cepl]

Hi,

after lookup the question-answer pair in Exim3 FAQ Q0325 ("How can I arrange
for mail on my local network to be delivered directly to the relevant
hosts, but all other mail to be sent to my ISP's mail server? The local
hosts are all DNS-registered and behave like normal Internet hosts."), I
have made this router:

localmail:
  driver = lookuphost
  transport = remote_smtp
  domains = vysocina

'vysocina' is an internal domain on our tiny home network (one server and
three, soon to be just two, workstations) and this is a relevant part
of /etc/hosts:

        # This computer
        127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost

        # Names of the home network
        192.168.0.1     mitmanek.vysocina mitmanek
        192.168.0.2     chelcicky.vysocina chelcicky
        192.168.0.3     blahoslav.vysocina blahoslav
        192.168.0.4     komensky.vysocina komensky
        192.168.0.5     kosatec.vysocina kosatec
        192.168.0.6     daniela.vysocina daniela

This is what 'dig kosatec' on the server gives:

mitmanek:/home/matej# dig kosatec

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> kosatec

However, when I try  /usr/sbin/exim -v -d16 -bt matej@kosatec, I get this:

Why exim cannot understand that kosatec is in a domain vysocina (see
attached /etc/exim/exim.conf)?

Thanks a lot for any help,
