Gregory, thank you very much for your comment. Below is the first part of my exim.conf file. Could you take a look to it please? is it OK? After Tim's comment I realized that my ISP username and the name of my account (localhost?) in my system are the same. Could be this a problem? Please note that "centroin.com.br" is my ISP. (I think I missed the real meaning of the word localhost) Thanks in advance for your help and time!! :)
