[Pkg-exim4-users] two elementary questions

[David Liontooth]

A quick followup: I found in an old exim3 configuration that local
delivery could be configured using

    dc_local_domains=localhost:chianti

This had an effect in the right direction, but not quite there:

2005-05-15 21:25:51 1DXXA5-0003eN-Ac <= tna@chianti U=tna P=local S=799
2005-05-15 21:25:51 1DXXA5-0003eN-Ac == tna@chianti R=hub_user defer
(-17): error in redirect data: domain missing or malformed in "tna@"

How do I tell exim4 that tna@chianti is a perfectly good address, just
give the mail to user tna?
