Pkg exim4 users - Mar 2012 - Configuring incoming mail to smart host

I''m trying to configure this:
* accept all mail for mydomain.example from Internet; 
* deliver that mail to mail.otherdomain.example, without a MX record;
* no relaying any other mail, from any IP; 
* no local delivery, no local sending.

Host mail.mydomain.example has A and MX record for mydomain.example.
internal host server.otherdomain.example has a public A record, but no MX record
for mydomain.example.

conf.conf:
dc_eximconfig_configtype=''satellite''
dc_other_hostnames=''mydomain.example''
dc_local_interfaces=''''
dc_readhost=''mail.mydomain.example''
dc_relay_domains=''mydomain.example''
dc_minimaldns=''true''
dc_relay_nets=''''
dc_smarthost=''mail.otherdomain.example''
CFILEMODE=''644''
dc_use_split_config=''false''
dc_hide_mailname=''true''
dc_mailname_in_oh=''true''

RCPT TO: <test at mydomain.example>
550 Unrouteable address

How should I set parameters to make it work?

Thanks

John

  I think you won''t be able to get what you want just
by setting those parameters.  You will have to read
more of the Debian FAQ, and edit the proper 
configuration file.

What happens with your setup is that exim checks whether there is a local
user named test (or something in /etc/aliases). Dropping mydomain.example
from dc_other_hostnames might work, use exim4 -bt some at address to
test.
