Argh! Postfix! I started with Exim, played with Sendmail (following a
howto), then played with Postfix. I didn't use the smarthost option, though.
I installed Exim4 and set it to use mail.bellsouth.net - e-mail popped out
fine and did not go in my Yahoo junk folder. Hotmail DID junk it though,
that's not a good thing. I'll research a littlemore on that subject.
Next up: filters and cleanup all that AntiVir stuff. I've got way too much
stuff in there eating up what little bit of memory my PC has.
Thanks for the offer on your config files. If I through my hands up, I'd be
happy tpo review your config files and get as close to that config as
possible (on a light-weight machine)
Hey - how do I verify that my e-mail did go through the smarthost? Would it
appear in my headers?
