The first step is obviously to see if exim can send you mail _without_
xoops being involved.
$ echo 'Foo!' | mail -s 'this is a test.' [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Also, you could probably get some more information by checking your mail
logs in /var/log/exim4/{mainlog,errorlog}
If you're not sure how exim was set up at installation, try doing:
$ dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
For simple set ups, this should get you a working mail setup.
