Exim4 frozen messages
Hi there:
I recently installed a sid system from scratch, and am in the process of
setting it up and using it as my main desktop system. The default MTA comming
with sid is Exim4, and I am having difficulty setting it up. I have exim4
running and working on my Libranet/Sarge system with no problem, but the same
confiuration doesn't work for sid.
My needs are simple, my mail client (kmail) gets my messages from my POP3
account directly, and then when I am sending a message, kmail passes the
messgae to exim which in turn sends the message. This configuration has
worked for so long for me, and I don't know why I can't get it working this
time.
Basically, when I send a message, kmail passes it to exim, but exim doesn't
send it. mailq shows that the message is frozen. I read the exim man page and
it seems that exim automatically freezes messages that it seems are spam (am
I right?). Well, I don't know why exim thinks that my messages are spam.
I installed exim4 via apt-get from the sid repository, and setup /etc/
mail-addresses and then faced this problem. Then I copied the configuration
file of my working exim4 installation to the sid machine, still, I face the
same problem. Here is my /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf file
# /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
#
# Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf
# yourself or use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config'
dc_eximconfig_configtype='internet'
dc_other_hostnames=''
dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1'
dc_readhost=''
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets=''
dc_smarthost=''
dc_never_users='never_users = root'
CFILEMODE='644'
Cheers and thanks for help
