Hello, I am new to exim and mail server configuration. I completed the install and setup for exim. I am wondering if I need to have a registered domain in order to send mail to be delivered externally. I ran some simple tests to see if my messages were delivered and they say completed, but when I check my inbox no message. I don't see any errors. Any advice would help, thanks.
