 : 
 : WHat transports are configured in the transports section of exim.conf? Let
 : me have a look at that remote_transport definition in that section.

"local_delivery:", "address_pipe:", "address_file:",
"address_directory:", "address_reply:" (by default), and

# This transport is used for delivering messages over SMTP connections.

remote_smtp:
  driver = smtp

This look the same as you have below (and it works).

 : You could also MAKE an smtp transport like this:
 : 
 : smtp:
 : 	driver = smtp;

if it matters.

I like exim, it seems to "make sense", though I have yet to find a
web-page or document that says "Here's how you do the stuff you did in
sendmail/smail/qmail"  (like the virtusertable feature of sendmail).  Oh
well, you've helped open the door :)

Thanks,
