I need exim to have PHPNuke send out activation/registration e-mails.
I have SMTP installed on a Windows 2003 box, which acts as my
router/firewall as well. Was thinking I could use that to forward out
the emails, very small quantity. Maybe 1 or 2 a day. Or if the
exim/debian box can do it that'll work too.
I have debian woody installed as my webserver. Apache is of course the
webserver.
All I did was do apt-get install exim and it installed it. I did the
base configuration of saying I just want to send out e-mails. It only
asked like 4 questions. It then seemed all good. I have some php
scripts I use to test it and it isn't working. They use the mail()
function.
I heard about needing to make a symlink to sendmail...or was it just
for exim. But that was if I was doing the binaries, which I decided
just to go the apt-get route.
I didn' tdo any other configuring of exim or anything else. In my
php.ini file I have only the sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.
What do I need to do with exim to get this to work? I am a linux noob
as you can tell. I don't even know if exim is started or working.
