<trimmed> Apple's alleged-MUA *can* be made to work, but we deleted it on all our Mac's early-on, so I'm not clear on what it was we had to do, but.. ISTR: - the early versions (OS X 10.2 thru early 10.3) needed SSL, NOT TLS and still on port 465 - later/latest versions were au fait with TLS on port 587, - and that there was a stretch in between when 'en clair' was the only thing that worked because they had assumed crypt or something when one selected TLS. My 'wetware' memory is a bit fuzzy on that, but hopefully you have current software anyway. In any case, Debian uses a specialized configuration methodology - best to ask on their Exim list. Bill Hacker PS: IF you can do it, scrap that mailer AND its address book. You can get better functionality, security, and portability with far less admin hassle by migrating to any of several free or cheap alternatives. BT,DT, GTTS (GNUMail, Mulberry, PowerMail, Opera, Thunderbird, Mozilla, Claws ... et al.) Settled on Seamonkey 'coz of a need to manage many ID's, dozens of filters, and about a quarter million messages IMAP synced between folders on local <=> server. All others either slowed down too much on open, or JF broke their mailstore or index / DB. YMMV. -- ## 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/
