Hi Ted, thanks for your help, Im still none the wiser why the config wont work when I follow instructions similar to this for debian:
http://edseek.com/~jasonb/articles/exim4_courier/exim4.html Its a bit frustrating as a smart relay host should be the simplest config possible should it not? Well I know for sendmail its normally totally unproblabmatic to configure... :S In the end Ive copied over a config from another system, that isnt using smart relay (suppose that means its using DNS service records instead???) Well, anyway this allows me to send email from command line etc. I´d be much more comfortable understanding how to config exim myself rather than copying over a file from another box, but i dont want to waste too much time on it if its not an easy issue to resolve over a message board! DNS is resolving everything fine, exim configs were from a vanilla exim4 debian install, so dont believe issue was DNS related or due to config being modified from defaults... thanks Andy. ________________________________________________ Message sent using UK Grid Webmail 2.7.9 -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
