How do you send mail with Balsa? Do you use your MTA or any function
from within Balsa?
I am assuming that balsa uses my MTA which is exim. I assume this from
looking at /var/log/exim/mainlog, where it shows the mail going out
when I send from balsa. Unfortunately, from a diagnostic standpoint,
it shows the same thing for a mail sent from mutt. Both show the
details and say that the MTA transaction is complete.

So the MTA is working at least locally.

My first guess is that you didn't set up your MTA correctly. I don't
use Exim, but I'd expect some question about local systems/domains and
a smart host or relay host. These would be things to look up in Exim's
documentation.
Thanks for your suggestion and help. I will be checking the exim config
file again, and am looking forward to seeing the copy of Auke Jilderda's
exim.conf that he has so kindly offered to send me for comparison.
