Thanks. You might find you get better diagnostics by asking exim directly what it's up to. Use "exim -bt" and type email addresses at the prompt. It'll show you the routing decisions it makes to deliver a message to that address. The exim user mailing list is very good; if you stay stuck, drop me a line offlist with your exim config and I'll try to help.

Yes. As luck would have it I wrote a guide to installing it on FreeBSD as well. You can read the article here: http://www.munk.nu/webcp/ The article covers installing exim with support for pwcheck on freebsd. Whilst pwcheck is now deprecated and it still works, it should still help you out. > > Has anyone got a sample FreeBSD exim config I can look at, perhaps one > that uses a smarthost (but that's not strictly necessary)? Thanks. Remember to install the exim documentation as well - whilst quite terse, the documentation is very comprehensive. As the other poster mentions check for existing configurations as well and also check the exim-users list for some ideas - try searching here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=exim-users&r=1&w=2 -- Jez http://www.munk.nu/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: exim configurations?
I'm using exim with virtual domains & maildirs and without smarthost, so my config mightn't be useful to you. Look at http://www.exim.org/ftp/exim3/config.samples.tar.gz or http://www.exim.org/ftp/exim4/config.samples.tar.gz for some hints - you can find summaries in FAQ.txt.gz from the same directory. However, the error you're getting almost sounds like a problem with the network rather than the MTA - Original Message - From: "William O'Higgins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: exim configurations? > Is anyone using exim as their MTA?
