I notice that 2096 is often a webmail port. Does that mean you've
given up on sending emails by their submission port?
Submitting messages by the Web interface only until exim works. =8~/
Certainly submission via exim is a better option.
Your emails on this topic suddenly stopped after March 26.
After switching to a new smarthost, exim still has me stumped. =8~/
Switched to the exim-users list for more focused help.
$ cat /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf | tail -n 15
# This is a Debian specific file
dc_eximconfig_configtype='smarthost'
dc_other_hostnames=''
dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1'
dc_readhost='easthope.ca'
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets=''
dc_smarthost='mail.easthope.ca::465'
CFILEMODE='644'
dc_use_split_config='false'
dc_hide_mailname='true'
dc_mailname_in_oh='true'
dc_localdelivery='mail_spool'
The debug log from
"exim -d+all+noutf8 me@anaccessibledomain ..." is in
http://easthope.ca/ex1 . Many lines mention "retry" and I don't
understand the snag there. Ideas welcome.
Not as interesting as an issue of _National_Geographic_. Explanatory
headings could help more.
a: Where are you going.
b: Through the door.
a: I can see that.
b: Then why did you ask?
a: Because I don't have the ability to read thoughts. [To know you're
going to the store for coffee cream.]
Incidentally, in Debian 11, POP3 works via stunnel. The only
difficulty is to automate stunnel startup for non-inetd operation.
Start stunnel at boot up.
"man stunnel" mentions "delay DNS lookup for connect option". No
effect here.
"@reboot root stunnel" in /etc/crontab starts a process after which
the MUA reports "No connection".
https://wiki.debian.org/Pan advises "ENABLED=1" in
/etc/default/stunnel4. No stunnel process results. =8~/
Thx, ... P.
