Hi, Yes, it can be done configuring Exim to send emails to external domains using a smarthost.
1.- Configure properly /etc/aliases and add a default user to receive emails. For example # /etc/aliases mailer-daemon: postmaster postmaster: root nobody: root hostmaster: root usenet: root news: root webmaster: root www: root ftp: root abuse: root noc: root security: root root: youruser youruser; redalert.comman...@gmail.com 2.- Configure exim4 to send emails using a external smarthost. As I can see you have a gmail account. I have the same configuration in my servers. Modify your update-exim4.conf.conf and update the dc_smarthost variable: dc_smarthost='smtp.gmail.com::587' Create the /etc/exim4/passwd.client with the right permission -rw-r----- 1 root Debian-exim 401 abr 21 21:20 passwd.client And add the following: # password file used when the local exim is authenticating to a remote # host as a client. # # see exim4_passwd_client(5) for more documentation # # Example: ### target.mail.server.example:login:password *.google.com:redalert.comman...@gmail.com:password gmail-smtp.l.google.com:redalert.comman...@gmail.com:password *.google.com:redalert.comman...@gmail.com:password smtp.gmail.com:redalert.comman...@gmail.com:password 3.- Restart the exim4 daemon Have fun!
