I couldn't get any mail sent out so had to revert to exim 3. I have
saved the above info and will try it again this weekend. I did find
the 'host_find_failed = defer' in both of the smarthost sections you
have so don't think that is the problem., but will try it out.
The other problem was that I couldn't get the procmail section to work
(maybe a .forward file change required) and the old exim3 .forward
file wasn't working right. Then I discovered yet another doc on
filters that seems to say that the exim4 format is slightly differedt
then exim3. Oh well.... I really just need a simple MTA and exim 3
is doing what I want. Don't need all the spam filtering as mailfilter
removes 99.9% of all the spam I get.
Thanks for the replies David. I appreciate you taking the time to
reply. Will let you know how it goes.
Cheers
Wayne
