Setup: jessie 64 bit Freshly configured exim4 I'm quite new to exim4 although I've had it running on another Debian install for few months now. At any rate I'm not experienced enough to know how to find the source of a problem once I've gotten to the point where I'm attempting to send mail.
Watching the smtp conversation but not sure what it is telling me. There may better ways to get some verbose output. If so, I hope someone points them out. I'm using `mailx -v' to get some verbose output regarding the smtp conversation like the example a couple of para below: (I'm not sure if this output means it worked or it failed. I can tell you that nothing is showing up at the other end) Can any of you experienced exim4 hands interpret this output? Did the Authentication work or fail?
