You don't have to. exim4 acts as a sendmail replacement, so it will accept emails on stdin.

To answer Yuriy's question, I don't know enough SMTP to be able to talk to exim directly to send a mail with exim4. mailx works well for scripts or short emails from the command line. For normal everyday use, install mutt. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

I think that the only way to dirctly tell exim4 to send mail is to speak SMTP to it, since it is a Mail Transfer Agent. Most people use a Mail User Agent to talk to it, e.g. mutt. Receiving mail, for most people, is done with a mail fetcher, e.g. fetchmail, that pulls the mail from a POP or IMAP server, hands it off to your local exim4 MTA, which puts it in your mailbox. You then read the mail with your MUA, e.g. mutt. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

exim4 query
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to use exim4 for sending/receiving mails in console mode. Any recommendation for good instructions/how-tos ? Kind regards
