Re: Fetchmail and Exim - CRACKED IT!!
George,
I haven't been following this thread too closely, but I too decided to set
up mail using the LG tutorial. My goal was to be able to use Netscape Mail
to read and compose messages. All I did (after completing the tutorial) was
make my local machine my smtp and pop3 server. Netscape would pull mail from
/var/spool/mail.mwagnon successfully...I was stoked. But when I tried to
send a message, I couldn't. I can't remember the exact error message (and
I'm not logged into my Debian box at the moment), but I think it may have
been related to not being able to relay the message. Would adding 127.0.0.1
to my exim.conf file fix that? I didn't elect to relay mail when setting up
exim because I don't have a network at the moment (my other system PS died
and I haven't gotten around to replacing it :) ). This is exciting.
