Run the config tool ('eximconfig'). Pick option number 2 (smarthost
relay). This means that exim will accept mail coming from your own
machine and send it towards its destination using a "real" server that
you need to specify. Specify the mail server that your ISP provides.
You may need to use authentication on that server or it will drop your
messages -- to do this uncomment some of the lines near the end of the
config file that is generated and include the correct username and
password. If you want your machine to serve as the mail server for
the windows boxes, there might be some more configuration necessary, I
don't know because I haven't gotten there yet.
