Try telnetting directly to the smtp server on localhost and on the ISP and try to send a message, this will help diagnose the problem. If this works, then the problem is in your exim or MUA configuration Just do: #telnet mail.mydomain.com 25 Then do when the server prompts: MAIL From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - server should respond OK - RCPT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - server should respond OK - DATA write a little message here . - server should respond "message accepted for delivery - [remember the period at the end, that tells the server that the message is ended] QUIT Then check the mail of the address you sent it to. > MTA exim. > > Xfmail|Misc|Conf Misc|Send: Send Method: Sendmail > SMTP Host: 127.0.0.1 Port 25 > Sendmail path: /usr/bin/sendmail > Options -i > DSN Options: -R hdrs -N > failure.delay.success > Send Properties: SMTP log > > Netscape: Incoming Mail Servers: (Using Movemail) > Outgoing SMTP-server: localhost > Outgoing Mail server user name: <not specified> > > Sending mail using "mail" or mutt work without a problem.
