remote address is the local host (Exim 4.04) while routing e-mail to smtp running on diffrerent port on the same host.
Hi,
Well, on topic you see my problem.
I've read whole FAQ, methods described there are not helping me.
i've even print exim's specification, but i can't find the
answer for my problem.

i'm running an smtp on standard port 25, and another smtp running on (in
example 2525).
Greg (from exim-users) helped me to create router, that routes local
mails via another_transport which is
driver = smtp
and
port = 2525

that is ok. but when the e-mails are routing via this transport, Exim
deffers message, and type in the mainlog : "remote host address is the
local host (Frozen)".
Someone from IRC told me:
"add 'allow_localhost' line to your transport", i did that but it
doesn't help.

please, give me some advice, what should i do..

Lukasz.

allow_localhost applies only when the hosts are defined on the
transport.

What you need is "self=send" on the router.
