I quite possibly could be wrong here, but I have always assumed that for
local delivery, an SMTP agent was required. The reason I say this, is when
Exim wasn't working, I'd have e-mails from CRON, for root and other accounts,
frozen in Exim's mailq.

OIC
I'm afraid I can't help much there. When I was setting mine up to work
with GMail as Smarthost, I knew it was working when I was able to send
through GMail.

A morgue is a morgue is a morgue. They can paint the walls with aggressively
cheerful primary colors and splashy bold graphics, but it's still a holding
place for the dead until they can be parted out to organ banks. Not that I
would have cared normally but my viewpoint was skewed. The relentless
pleasance of the room I sat in seemed only grotesque.
