Here you would enter something like '*.yourdomain.com', where your PC and server belong to that domain. In that way exim4 will deliver email directly to those hosts rather than relaying outside your network. Regarding your second requirement, you probably want to choose the second option on the first screen, ie, "mail sent by smarthost; received via SMTP or fetchmail". You would then enter the name of your ISP's SMTP when prompted later for the name of the smarthost. -- Liam
