At this point, I am receiving mail, but no mail is being sent.
The package chain is as follows:
INCOMING MAIL: pop3 server @ my ISP --> getmail4 --> maildrop -->

OUTGOING MAIL: smtp server @ my ISP <-- exim4 <-- mutt
Did you configure exim for a smarthost? did you specify the smarthost
in /etc/exim4/passwd.client?
I have an ADSL connection with DHCP, so my ISP does not require
authentication for outgoing mail.
I think the problem may be that I do not understand the Debian
configuration dialogue for exim4. The dialogue asks whether to hide the
local name in outgoing mail; I replied "no", inasmuch as it doesn't
matter to me if someone knows that I am writing mail from "hamlet" or
from "othello", which are, respectively, the desktop and laptop machines
here in my LAN named "homedomain". But perhaps I misconstrue the
question.
Should I tell exim to make it appear as if all mail emanates from
"localprovider.net", which currently is my ISP?
("mail.localprovider.net" is the smarthost.)
If so, then what happens when I tell mutt to place
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the From: line of outgoing messages sent
in the course of business?
