Look in /var/log/exim/mainlog and see what happened to the message.
Most likely your exim config is not right and the message is frozen.
(you can also see that by running 'mailq')

I've seen pine before; it (thinks it) can speak SMTP, so it is likely
not taking the same execution path through your system.  mutt does
what any sensible program would do an simply pipes into
/usr/sbin/sendmail.

The remote desktop feature of Windows XP is really nice (and *novel*!).
As a Microsoft consultant can *remotely* disable the personal firewall
and control the system.  We'll ignore the fact that this tampering with
the firewall is not logged, and more importantly, that the firewall
isn't restored when the clowns from Redmond are done with their job.
