Re: Exim4? Smtp through a smarthost

[Joachim Fahnenmueller <jfahnenmueller@web.de>]

Hi Jacob,

read /usr/share/doc/exim/spec.txt.gz .

Some lines from my exim.conf:

######################################################################
#                      ROUTERS CONFIGURATION                         #
#            Specifies how remote addresses are handled              #
######################################################################
(...)
# Send all mail to a smarthost

smarthost:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "* smtp.web.de bydns_a"
(...)
######################################################################
#                   AUTHENTICATION CONFIGURATION                     #
######################################################################
(...)
login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
client_send = ": <name> : <passwd>"

If you want a special port, the format is hostname::port .
