Many ISPs provide +only the alias name of their SMTP server in their guide. You need to +check the canonical name by yourself manually using host command. For +example, if your ISP claims to provide SMTP host service at +vsmtp.xx.point.ne.jp, try: + + $ host vsmtp.xx.point.ne.jp + vsmtp.mb.point.ne.jp is an alias for vsmtpxx.dti.ne.jp. + vsmtpxx.dti.ne.jp has address 202.216.228.xxx + +Thus vsmtpxx.dti.ne.jp shall be used as the canonical host name in +/etc/exim4/passwd.client. When your ISP changes CNAME record for the +alias host name, you need to update /etc/exim4/passwd.client file +manually. + +If you do not know about your password for your SMTP host, you should try +using your POP password as a good guess. + (Lines starting with a hash-mark (#) are ignored.) --------------------------------
