Hi,
I'm at a lost here trying to configure exim4 on a laptop running
bookworm as a smarthost relay to my email provider.
I already made it working on my desktop machine (bookworm also) on the
same local network though I had difficulties too at the time.
All I'm trying to do is to send myself a mail in a terminal.
To make it quick and with the help of the config files I found on my
desktop, I did :
# dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config # smtpauth.provider.fr::465
Do you definitely need port 465, not 587?
Just my provider's recommendations.
And my desktop uses them just fine.
# vi /etc/exim4/passwd.client # putting the credentials here
The steps below aren't something I've needed to do
# vi /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros # MAIN_TLS_ENABLE = 1
# /usr/share/doc/exim4/examples/exim-gencert # generating exim.crt
and exim.key files in /etc/exim4/
My notes for the steps I did when setting up exim are...
Install exim4, ca-certificates and s-nail.
Run 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' and answer questions...
General type of mail configuration: "mail sent by smarthost; received via
SMTP or fetchmail"
System mail name: "yxit.co.uk"
IP-addresses to listen on for incoming SMTP connections: ""
Other destinations for which mail is accepted: "home"
Machines to relay mail for: "192.168.0.0/22"
IP address or host name of the outgoing smarthost:
"mail.myisp.co.uk::587"
Hide local mail name: "Yes"
Visible domain name for local users: "yxit.co.uk"
Keep number of DNS-queries minimal (Dial-on-Demand)? "No"
Delivery method for local mail: "Maildir format in home directory"
Split configuration into small files?: "Yes"
Edit /etc/exim4/passwd.client to add
mail.myisp.co.uk:usen...@myisp.co.uk:password
My general type of exim4 configuration is "satellite" as I just intend
to relay the outgoing mails to my provider.
Here is my config files :
# cat /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
[...]
dc_eximconfig_configtype='satellite'
dc_other_hostnames=''
dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1'

dc_relay_nets=''
dc_smarthost='smtpauth.provider.fr::465'

dc_use_split_config='false'
dc_hide_mailname='true'
dc_mailname_in_oh='true'
dc_localdelivery='mail_spool'
# cat /etc/exim4/passwd.client
