In the last days I disturbed you all about exim, because I wasn't able to send e-mail. A lot of you helped me and I wish to thank you all for the attention. But exim didn't work anyway on my system.
I SOLVED my problem using 'smail' than 'exim' and BINGO !!! When I tried to use exim, fetchmail showed me some error messages like : "error 550, I can't deliver mail for the following addresses:..."). Now using 'smail', fetchmail works fine too, though my $HOME/.fetchmailrc is the same of when I tried to use exim...?!!? Ok. Now I have got another little problem with 'smail': I have got Debian 2.1 (slink) on a PC (Pentium), and my MUA (mail user agent) is 'mutt'. Does 'smail' put outgoing e-mails in /var/spool/smail/input ? I think that is true, and I think when 'smail complete the delivering, it removes files from the folder above. Well. When I send e-mail on-line (connected to internet), 'smail' often SEEMS sleeping and it takes al lot of time for removing files in /var/spool/smail/input, and then (I think) it takes a lot of times to deliver them too. Is that true ? How can I get 'smail' working faster ? Thank you.
