Sorry, the sendmail pipe was an error.  I tried this to see if it made any 
difference - it didn't, even after adding the -t

I don't know which version of sendmail emulates, but I tried both of the 
example values for Sendmail Arguments and neither worked (with and without 
the -t)

I have read the entire config.pm, and apart from the bits regarding checking 
incoming emails (which I'm none too clear about) I can't see anything I've 
missed

There is absolutely nothing in the exim logs to say that it's even trying to 
send an email.

As a test, I su'd to apache which is the user that runs the web server and 
called exim as I thought RT would and everything worked fine, with the exim 
log showing the transaction. The mail actually failed once it got to our mail 
server as the sender - apache at ringways.co.uk - doesn't exist)

Has anyone got any other ideas of what I can try?
