AFAIK exim is standardly configured to accept mail from localhost and send
it. So, configure messenger with smtp=localhost. See if that works. If you
get a message like 'localhost does not relay for you' or 'connection
refused', you have to reconfigure exim.

mail direct to Internet

2001-09-15 Thread Marvin Stodolsky
On laptop from Home, my mail is sent through Netscape Messenger to
smtp.rcn.com, with rcn.com my IP. RCN.COM does not accept smtp from
other domains.

With laptop at work I have a LAN gateway to the Internet, and should be
able to send mail directly from the laptop. But how should Messenger +
exim + WhatElse be configure?
