Re: Problem with Dovecot
Exim is my MTA, it is working for sending mail but seemingly not
receiving, I just tried mailing locally and even that doesn't seem to
work. Swaks output below:
keir@Cid:~$ swaks --to keir@mydomain.org --from keir@foo.bar
=== Trying mydomain.org:25...
=== Connected to mydomain.org.
<- 220 mydomain.org ESMTP Exim 4.72 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 21:31:19 +0000

Any ideas?
