[Solved] I have been, and still am, a user of a mimimalist email setup.
fetchmail to get mail from my ISP, and exim set to forward my mail to
my ISP's smarthost. (the second choise of five in exim4-config).
I moved from exim4-daemon-light to exim4-daemon-heavy and ran
dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
again and email now works correctly again.
I spent a little time reading info exim and the above mentioned
...config_examples before posting this message. But, for the benefit of
others who have this problem and find this in the archives: ...-heavy
contains the fix. Email was already working when I did the
reading.
Thanks to all.
