Run dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config as root. Follow the instructions and set Exim up to use a smart host to send email. It doesn't have to listen on any port except 127.0.0.1. Set up the smart host as the smtp server for your isp--mail.example.com--and add your user name and password as follows to a single line in /etc/exim4/passwd.client : "mail.example.com:username:password" with url being your ISP's mail server and the username and password being your username and password for your ISP's mail server. Don't include the quotes as I used them only for delineation from the rest of the sentence. Restart exim4, or edit /etc/exim4/passwd.client before running dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config, and the email function in Gimp will work as it should.
