This is slightly altered from a message I sent earlier today. If the earlier message reached this list, I apologize for the duplication.
I have just bought a new machine and have installed Debian Wheezy on it. On my old machine I used Postfix, but I have now switched to exim4, which is installed on my machine. I am having difficulty getting my upload connection to my smart host server restored. The firm is Heller Information Services, his.com, and they are trying to be helpful(they are a local phone call away) but they use Postfix and aren't familiar with exim. I have been used to using [email protected] as my address and a mailbox with this name exists at Heller. I can get mail sent there with fetchmail, which works fine, so my address and password are, it seems, OK. I have run dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config a dozen times. The responses are mostly obvious, except perhaps for the query about my system mailname. I have entered alanmcc.localdomain which is my entry in /etc/hosts. But maybe this isn't right? The people at Heller insist that [email protected] must appear in the exim configuration; I don't know where it should be. The basic question: besides dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config , is there another setting that I must set by hand? As mentioned, I had to set passwd.client by hand. TIA for help!
