Well, it's prolly right under my nose but I really dont see how... I actually had to install sendmail instead of exim in GNU/Linux to make it work. I set up my gaetway has the smarthost with a rewrite rule to make my address change from the LAN domain name to my mail name... I tried sending it directly but still no luck. In the Hurd I fire up exim manually with exim -bd -q1m& and still no luck, with or without smarthost, nothing get's delivered, only local mail. > > > > > - I *really* need portuguese keyboard support; I'm geting tired of > > writing !"#$$%&%/=) to find a |.
