Someone already mentioned (replied off-list, and thanks) that exim is
for sending mail; so my problem isn't with exim. So I guess
my problem is with a imapd server.... I have a uw-imapd running,
and that works internally (i.e. inside the home I can use
mozilla to read mail from the mail server via another internal
box). But again, sending mail directly to the mail "box" from an
external host won't work (though other tcp stuff works like ftp,
http, etc). Eventually get an e-mail from the external sending
host "failed MX lookup".
So what do I need to setup so that mail is received directly? Again,
fetchmail will work, but I can't get it directly sent (I have a domain
name, etc.). And, what tcp/ip port should I have my dsl/router
set up for forwarding to the mail server?
Thank you for your thoughts.
