Anyone using exim with fastmail.fm's smtp server as smart host?
I'm trying to setup exim4 in a situation that has got to be pretty
common. (Other than perhaps the choice of smtp server)
In general it is:
single user home machine running debian
send mail to remote addresses by `smart host'
Retrieve mail by fetchmail, or in some accounts just
use Imap and don't fetch the messages.
But in all cases I must use a smarthost. In this case it is the smtp
server `mail.messagingengine.com'. I have successfully setup
sendmail on a debian machine in the past with this same smart host.
It necessitated using an `authinfo' file with a certain syntax.
So my SmartHost is an authenticating Smart host... it also seemed
to require me to masquerade as another mail provider.
I used `newsguy.com' since I have accounts with them. Mail was made
to appear as if it had originated at newsguy.com
Some of those same things, no doubt, will be required, and I've tried
several different configs.
What I hoped is that someone here would be in a similar situation and
might be able to offer some input to get this going.
Call me lazy, but I really really do NOT want to pound thru piles and
piles of exim documentation... . I'm willing to do some reading
but not interested in becoming an exim adept... I doubt I would make
the cut... with 10-15 yrs training.
