Not so sure about that. Wouldn't local mail be stuff sent to the root account etc. ? In any event I don't think it'll hurt to enable this option, as I have it enabled in my Exim4 configuration -- I'm using smarthost as well. >now, i'd like exim4 to use ssl when logging to the smarthost to avoid >sending password in plaintext. i put relevant information to >/etc/exim4/passwd.client. >then i tried to send a message to one of my mail addresses. it was >delivered correctly, however i'm not sure whether it used TLS or not. >the transcript of the 'session' is given below: <snip> >i can see the command STARTTLS, but was it really used? also, i recall >that for TLS transactions port 465 should be used, shouldn't it? Not sure. Is the e-mail actually being sent ? Does your smarthost have a web front end to view e-mails ? >if i'm wrong what else i need to supply? many pages mention adding >cert/key files and some tls-related switches to the config but it seems >to be related to the situation when exim4 acts as the smtp server... >(and that's not my situation). I've sent mine up to send via GMail as smarthost. You're asking Exim4 to be a smtp server BTW. >i'd be glad for any hints. See above. Enable local delivery and to see if it makes a difference.
