Whenever I send an email to my catchall alias via SSH (i.e., locally), Exim successfully pipes the e-mail to a PHP script, as I told it to do. However, when I try to send an e-mail to my catchall alias via my e-mail client (i.e., remotely), Exim won't pipe the e-mail. Any ideas?

My exim.conf file: [http://www.ysend.com/exim.txt](http://www.ysend.com/exim.txt)

If I run exim -bh, it looks like everything is fine and should be relaying correctly.
