Hi Andy,
Try this:
mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.orginal
(moves sendmail just in case)
ln -s /path/to/exim /usr/sbin/sendmail
(creates a symbolic link to Exim)
Then assuming Exim is working all you need to do (I hope) is edit the Exim
config file (usually /etc/exim/configure) and change:
host_accept_relay = 192.168.0.0/16
where the IP is the IP of your Windows box.
Hope it works.
Rob

Subject: [exim] SMTP forwards with EXIM
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.
