I'm trying to setup exim4 in a situation that has got to be pretty common. (Other than perhaps the choice of smtp server)
In general it is: single user home machine running debian send mail to remote addresses by `smart host' Retrieve mail by fetchmail, or in some accounts just use Imap and don't fetch the messages. But in all cases I must use a smarthost. In this case it is the smtp server `mail.messagingengine.com'. I have successfully setup sendmail on a debian machine in the past with this same smart host. It necessitated using an `authinfo' file with a certain syntax. So my SmartHost is an authenticating Smart host... it also seemed to require me to masquerade as another mail provider. I used `newsguy.com' since I have accounts with them. Mail was made to appear as if it had originated at newsguy.com Some of those same things, no doubt, will be required, and I've tried several different configs. What I hoped is that someone here would be in a similar situation and might be able to offer some input to get this going. Call me lazy, but I really really do NOT want to pound thru piles and piles of exim documentation... . I'm willing to do some reading but not interested in becoming an exim adept... I doubt I would make the cut... with 10-15 yrs training. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
