I have a local box which I want to be able to send mail... specifically
I want bugzilla to be able to mail people.
I have no idea how to make it a mail server, or if my ISP would even
allow it, but I have a dedicated server from http://liquidweb.com/ so
I'm pretty sure I can use that as a smarthost, and just relay my mail
through there. So I've read some manuals, and run my exim4-reconfigure
or whatnot, and I thought I had it... but mail won't get through. I'm
pretty sure it's a matter of not authenticating with the smarthost
properly, but I'm really at a loss. Not sure exactly what information is
useful, but I'm hoping the below is.
Right now I tried the following command
mail -v -s testtest [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and was greeted with the following
