I did.

Under preferences, mail servers, outgoing mail server I have entered `localhost'. After considerable fiddling with exim.conf, I was able to get Netscape to work by doing one of the following: 1) relay_domains = * or 2) commenting out the line: `sender_host_reject_relay = *' I don't think either solution is very desirable, but since I'm on a dial-up box with dynamic IP connections I won't sweat it too much. > I think non-broken programs should send mail via /usr/sbin/sendmail, > in which case, mail relaying isn't required.
