Hello,
I have been running sendmail on my machine at home for a long time
with few problems. I use mh and exmh, and sometimes elm.
When I recently installed Debian on a machine at work I decided to try
exim instead of sendmail. I liked it so I replaced sendmail with exim
on my machine at home.
Now I am having some problems on my home machine. I can send mail
fine using elm, but when I try to send a message using mh, I get the
following:
leisure:~> send
Use "/home/ken/Mail/drafts/2"? y
post: problem initializing server; [BHST] no servers available
send: message not delivered to anyone
The exim process is running in daemon mode; I can see it using ps.
Another problem is with incoming mail. I use fetchmail to retrieve
mail from my Debian machine (flounder) at work which runs qpopper.
I believe flounder is configured properly because this worked great
when sendmail was installed at home.
This is what I get when I try to fetch mail:
leisure:~> fetchmail -v

It appears that I am having some problem establishing SMTP connections.
Can anyone suggest what I should check to figure this out?
Thanks.
