When I try to send an email I get: unrouteable mail domain "anydomain.ca" I can resend you the full error messages if you want. > Do you have a fixed IP or do you have something like the Mpowered service > where you're behind sympatico's NAT server? I have a fixed IP address. My BSD box is using NAT to port forward to the web server which sits behind it. > Can you use exim to send mail from the console? Is sympatcio allowing this?

My old one (which used Sendmail itself rather than Exim) was set up to act as it's own SMTP server and worked well.
