Now, on this machine which already has exim4 installed (for local main
delivery only), I installed msmtp and configured it and tried sending a
test mail. I got this email back:
----------------------------------------------------------------
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  <username>@gmail.com
    Mailing to remote domains not supported
----------------------------------------------------------------

hmm ...so exim4 involved in this? Should I remove exim4 to get msmtp to
work?
