Timo - I too am having some trouble with exim, but it sounds like you're having one that's easier to fix. I assume you ran eximconfig when you first set things up, and chose something like option 2 (I believe) - send via SMTP to a smarthost. That's the setting that will work for most people. In your /etc/exim/exim.conf (or /etc/exim.conf for older versions - I run 3.31) you should have a line in the routers configuration section that goes: smarthost: driver = domainlist transport = remote_smtp route_list = "* mail.gmx.at bydns_a" (using your ISP) and in the authentication configuration section: login: driver = plaintext public_name = LOGIN client_send = ": username : password" (I'm guessing - this is the most common one, AFAIK) Play with these options, and you should have reasonably good luck. I'm assuming this is your problem - that it won't send mail, even when you're connected to your ISP - if the problem is something else, let us know. Good luck, Steve
