What cron reports? Are you referring to the exim log? See below.

I must admit to being a little confused by the previous reply which
seemed to be getting into coding details about stuff I had never heard
of. I will start again:

I want exim4 configured to deliver email using a smarthost. A Gmail
smarthost. This is one of the 3 or 4 main "modes" of exim it would
appear so why this should be "extremely complicated" as suggested
earlier is a surprise to me.

I have:

added the procmail_pipe to my config for local mail delivery : works fine.
modified my passwd.client
added port=587 to my config
set the smarthost to be smtp.gmail.com in my config
updated the config
restarted the exim server

if I

bash: echo "test" | mail hadronquark@???

I get this in my exim mainlog:

I dont understand authenticators, I have modified none of them from the
default Ubuntu Edgy install. I dont understand the errors above.

Any pointer much appreciated.
