Ok - I had messed up my previous exim4 configuration, so I fully uninstalled, removed configuration and re-installed exim4.
I am trying to get exim4 send my email to a gmail account. I have followed this, and am using unsplit configuration: https://wiki.debian.org/GmailAndExim4 $ echo "blah" | mail -s "test" [email protected] The logs unfortunately say: 2014-04-16 21:39:58 1WaVgc-0002z2-BS IPv6 socket creation failed: Address family not supported by protocol 2014-04-16 21:39:58 1WaVgc-0002z2-BS gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com [2a00:1450:400c:c03::6d] Address family not supported by protocol I add disable_ipv6='true' to /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf Then, update-exim4.conf, invoke-rc.d exim4 restart And, I get the IPv6 log again... :( If I check this, it looks like my disable_ipv6 command was not taken into account: $ exim -bP disable_ipv6 no_disable_ipv6 The configuration file exim4 uses is: $ exim4 -bV Exim version 4.80 #3 built 13-Jan-2013 05:36:41 ... Support for: crypteq iconv() IPv6 GnuTLS move_frozen_messages DKIM ... Configuration file is /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated But after reading the doc ($ gzip -dc /usr/share/doc/exim4/README.Debian.gz | less), I think this is normal and I should not touch this configuration file. Yet, the fact is that I can't send email, and that it complains about IPv6 and I don't know how to cope with that...
