Agreed.

Uhm, ok.

I'm using gmail, and have exim locally using it. It works fine with the
command-line "mail":

$ echo foo | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
$

$ tail /var/log/exim4/mainlog
2008-09-27 12:36:44 1KjXAK-00016c-RT <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=neo P=local S=343
2008-09-27 12:36:48 1KjXAK-00016c-RT => [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=smarthost 
T=remote_smtp_smarthost H=gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com [66.249.91.109] 
X=TLS1.0:RSA_ARCFOUR_MD5:16 DN="C=US,ST=California,L=Mountain View,O=Google 
Inc,CN=smtp.gmail.com"
2008-09-27 12:36:48 1KjXAK-00016c-RT Completed
^C
$

I don't know whether I can set an SSL SMTP server in devscripts.conf as
BTS_SMTP_HOST.

However, I'm trying to comment that line and letting exim do all the "dirty
work": hopefully it will work again.

Kindly,
David
