Mailer and Spam Woes

Wow, sometimes you just have to shake your head and laugh. I spent about an hour debugging a new web server trying to figure out why exim4 wasn't sending mail for the Drupal contact form. Well, it turns out it was the whole time and now I know way too much about Exim. The sender address was the same as the recipient so GMail was treating all my mail as spam. Shouldn't I have figured this out by simply looking at Exim's logs. Yeah, probably. I hate to be a super nerd but this is a classic example of PEBKAC - problem exists between keyboard and chair.
