#178331 — root@localhost mail not forwarding in Exim

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

I changed my server name and fqdn and now the mail to root@localhost is
bouncing.

I went into every file that had the old name and changed it to the new name
but it still doesn't work. I did "grep -r something.else /etc" to find all
the files.

so, if I want to use mail.example.com as my fqdn, and the old fqdn was
something.else and root@something.else was redirecting mail to
me@something.else ... then what do I need to change in Exim to make this
happen?

root@localhost is bouncing
root@mail.example.com is bouncing
me@mail.example.com is working

/etc/mailname is this line:
mail.example.com

I would also like to be able to send mail to me@mail instead of
me@mail.example.com ... if this is possible.

I did "grep -r something.else /etc" and changed all the files to the
mail.example.com name and then ran the "update-exim4.conf"

if you reply, please CC me directly because it is hard to find messages in
this list because of the high volume.

Thanks

Have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

Which Settings you have there?
