Just got a basic install running and during the course of setting mail with the base-config tool, I think I answered something wrong but not sure what would have been right. Or where to hand edit it.
I have a fair bit of experience with sendmail, but my first go around with exim. The details of my setup are: Single user machine dsl connected to internet thru local isp (dslextreme.com) and telco Using local isp for smart_host But pop server is newsguy.com not my local ip. I think I got most of this set alright except when I send a mail to myself at [EMAIL PROTECTED], exim tells me it is delivering locally and I have it back instantly. That is it never goes to newsguy, or thru my smart_host. I probably told exim to do that, but not sure what to change or where. My user is reader on this machine. But newsguy.com is a commercial online news/mail nntp/smtp/pop server. With sendmail I've always masqueraded as newsguy.com and it all worked. I think it is actually working now except sending mail to myself a [EMAIL PROTECTED] is just put directly into /var/spool/mail/reader
