I can't think of anything, except that you need to make sure exim is configured correctly (it sounds like that has already been done). And as a warning, future versions of nmh default to the SMTP submission port so maybe you want to add a "-port 25" under send in your profile, or make sure exim is also listening on the submission port (587). I personally want as few moving parts as possible so that's why I configure nmh to submit directly to my provider's SMTP servers, but either way should work fine. --Ken -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
