Hi there: I recently installed a sid system from scratch, and am in the process of setting it up and using it as my main desktop system. The default MTA comming with sid is Exim4, and I am having difficulty setting it up. I have exim4 running and working on my Libranet/Sarge system with no problem, but the same confiuration doesn't work for sid.
My needs are simple, my mail client (kmail) gets my messages from my POP3 account directly, and then when I am sending a message, kmail passes the messgae to exim which in turn sends the message. This configuration has worked for so long for me, and I don't know why I can't get it working this time. Basically, when I send a message, kmail passes it to exim, but exim doesn't send it. mailq shows that the message is frozen. I read the exim man page and it seems that exim automatically freezes messages that it seems are spam (am I right?). Well, I don't know why exim thinks that my messages are spam. I installed exim4 via apt-get from the sid repository, and setup /etc/ mail-addresses and then faced this problem. Then I copied the configuration file of my working exim4 installation to the sid machine, still, I face the same problem. Here is my /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf file # /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf # # Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf # yourself or use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' dc_eximconfig_configtype='internet' dc_other_hostnames='' dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1' dc_readhost='' dc_relay_domains='' dc_minimaldns='false' dc_relay_nets='' dc_smarthost='' dc_never_users='never_users = root' CFILEMODE='644' Cheers and thanks for help -- /* It is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.
