I haven't used (e)xmh in years but I have used mh extensively (from
within Emacs of course :-).  I assume that exmh uses mh underneath.
If not then there's probably no need to read further.

Ok, here's a gentle nudge & a 1/2. 

Firstly, did you compile / install mh yourself?  I've been meaning to
compile the latest version for linux 2.0.13 for a while but I haven't
finished.  Besides, there's some problems I've been having.  If you
(or anyone else out there) did do for themselves I'd like to see your
conf/MH file please.  

If you did compile it for yourself then it could be that some options
are wrong, like transport agent, but I think that my suggestion below
is more likely.

I think it's probably something to do with your mtstailor file which,
by default, gets put into /use/local/lib/mh This file lets you
configure how you will send mail using mh.  It lets you define (from
the top of my head, so it could be wrong) various config options,
whether or not to use dns or /etc/hosts (or is that in config/MH?) and
other various bits and pieces.  Do a "man mtstailor" to find out what
you want to know.
