Bug#394438: received via SMTP or fetchmail
Hi, > mail sent by smarthost; received via SMTP or fetchmail Maybe a more detailed explanation should be given for that question. If you only listen on localhost:smtp, receiving email is going to be a bit hard. Listening on localhost:smtp is fine for sending email of course. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just configure exim to listen on a publicly reachable interface. If you are qualified for running a publicly reachable SMTP server on the Internet, you should be able to figure that out by yourself.

Something like 'received via SMTP combined with fetchmail' would be more clear. In the original sentence, it sounds like SMTP can be used on it's own. It can. Just configure exim to listen on a publicly reachable interface. Of course exim can. But that answer makes it sound like it'll configure that for you. Just mentioning localhost in the answer would probably make this clear.
