Yes, I think I am getting the picture now.

Thanks for clarifying that.

I have not made myself a trusted user directly, but I do have the line
trusted_users = mail
in my exim.conf, and I had made user santanu part of the mail group.
I thought that should have worked.

But I think that here lies the real problem. I just changed that line
to read `trusted_users = mail : santanu', and tried to send a mail
to my other email account using mutt. Now, things are working perfectly.
Thanks for reminding me about the trusted_users variable.
But I still don't understand why the earlier line did not work.

Instead of those lines I have these:
remote_smtp:
  driver = smtp
  authenticate_hosts = smtp.softhome.net
end
This also seems to work.

Santanu
