Re: RE: Sending a simple mail from debian slug

Hi everyone and thanks for your support,

I'll try to answer all questions so far.

>authentification.
Yes, I thought that is what exim is for.

>It would be really helpful if you could tell exactly how you
>configured exim.
I chose the "mail sent by smarthost; no local mail" option and left
all the default options other than SMTP server:mail.arcor.de.

I use FHEM mainly, a perl home server that communicates with radio 
control switches. It has a web frontend accessible through port 8083.

>How? When?
Well, I have not applied the option to shutdown the slug with the
power button, so I just unplug the power. I will modify it to have
always power anyway, so that after a power failure it will boot
automatically.

I use knoppix at the moment, but VM-ware is also a good idea for the future.

The directory /var is empty. I did find the paniclog under:
/etc/logrotate.d/exim4-paniclog but not the auth.log. 

/var/log/exim4/paniclog {
	size 10M
	missingok
	rotate 10
	compress
	delaycompress
	notifempty
	create 640 Debian-exim adm
}
