The smarthost is reachable. Doing a
telnet [smarthost ip] ssmtp
Gives a connection. I can't do nothing much else since its requires a
TLS connection.
Trying mail -s test [address]
test
.
and running tcpdump shows a connection to my gateway for a dns quarry
but no connection to the smarthost. Same when running
/etc/init.d/exim4 restart with mails on the queue.
It looks like its not trying to connect to the smarthost.
