Re: Exim4 config help request
In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Ishwar Rattan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes I just installed ProMepis and it installs by default exim4 SMTP service. I am looking for a simple working configuration for exim4 (I have been using Sendmail and have tried Postfix too!). Requirements is that it should send to and receive from remote domains (office box connected to Internet via LAN). The error message sent back by exim is: ... Mailing to remote domains is not supported in fact, it does not send to another machine in the same domain! Any pointers will be appreciated. Try dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config. Tell it you want to send and receive by SMTP and give it the appropriate domain name(s). Tell it which domains/IP ranges you want it to relay mail for (probably just the local network) and what interfaces to listen on (localhost and the NIC). Oh, tell it you want to keep the single config file. Afterwards, look at /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf. Yes, that's two 'conf's. You can just edit this file by hand and run update-exim4.conf, or use the dpkg command again. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I did apt-get install exim4-daemon-heavy (it removed exim4-daemon-light), stopped exim4 and restarted it. The behavior from light version does not changed.
