Re: configuring debian for network mail clients
Hi Dwight,
read this on debian-user, but there was a different mailing-list
refered to in the To: header, so I'm cc-ing you/debian-user instead.

to read mail via tcp from your debian box you need a pop or a imap deamon
running on your debian box. Normally they are triggered from inetd.
to send mail via your debian box you need to tell exim it's okee to relay
mail for your local domain (in particular for your wife's machine).

now you need to tinker with /etc/exim.conf, you could consider running
eximconfig (again) and fill in the domain for which you are prepared to
relay mail, or read in the excellent exim info pages to look for the
settings for relayhost.
