You have (once again) skipped all the important stuff. i.e *what sort of mail* and *from whom* really matters here BECAUSE: - Everything you have so far posted gives me a 'strong suspicion' that you are trying to use Exim, a 'Message Transfer Agent', or MTA, when all you really need is a 'Message User Agent', or MUA. - Having Exim perform MUA-style 'client' functions is possible, but not as easy as a few 'box ticks' and filled-in blanks on a userland MUA. > This is one of the 3 or 4 main "modes" of exim it would > appear so why this should be "extremely complicated" as suggested > earlier is a surprise to me. > It is complicated only because; You also have to configure for a great many things that it appears you do not need and may not use. Ever. It is a bit like deciding to build a private freight train to carry a loaf of bread home when a simple train *ticket* might be less hassle. As you haven't studied smtp in general or Exim in particular, you really should expect to do a great deal of reading. Not trying to put you off - it is worthwhile learning. But it doesn't come without time invested.
