Please try to add a line in the /etc/hosts file for mydomain.com that points to the IP address of your server.
You need to add the domain name to you local_domains in exim.cf Code: domainlist local_domains = @ : localhost : localhost.localdomain : mydomain.com
Thanks Till for your quick response that was already in place, i somehow solved the issue, by changing some values in the exim.conf file. Thanks again You are right topdog, i had domainlist local_domains = @ : localhost : localhost.localdomain : mail.mydomain.com instead of domainlist local_domains = @ : localhost : localhost.localdomain : mydomain.com
