I am trying to setup a web server running Debian "Sarge" and Exim
4.34. After much research and even more trial and error, I think I
figured out the configuration scheme Debian uses for Exim 4. The
problem is when I try to have send email through a web feedback form,
the message is undeliverable. I get the following message back:

Question: What do I need to do in order to inform Exim of the sender's
domain? I have checked Google, but nothing I've found seems to help.
Do I need to setup DNS on my system or is there an easier solution?
Thanks.
