[svlug] Adding users to exim

[Skip Evans]

Okay, that makes sense, but I probably still have 
some configuration issues, because reading on this 
site:

http://koivi.com/exim4-config/
I tried their sample command:

exim -bt local_user at example.com

(On the site it is exim4, but as I said previously 
this server has exim, not exim4.)

And got this:
badler at pixoasis.com is undeliverable:

badler is a valid user I just added to the system.

Additionally, if I try and send email from my 
workstation here to badler at pixoasis.com it bounces 
back. Even without POP or IMAP support shouldn't 
the mail get to the file in /var/mail? Or does 
exim put it someplace else?

For POP and IMAP support would imap-uw work? I am 
most familiar installing that one.

Thanks!
Skip
