Subject: [exim] Singleuser problem
Dear exim'ers

I am new to this list and have never tried to configure it before.

I am a singleuser at home, on this machine. I have a permanent
adsl-connection to the internet via a wlan router (D-Link DI 524).

I'm running debian testing (etch) amd64.

My problem arose while trying to send mail from the mutt email client.

I want to send mail to my ISP smtp-server: asmtp.mail.dk

I have not yet configured fetchmail and procmail.

I guess you all know what I am talking about here so I'll jump right in
to it :)


niels@debian:~$ hostname -a
debian debian debian.nirvana


Things I have tried so far:

Running: dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
Chosing: "mail sent by smarthost; recieved via SMTP or Fetchmail"
Changing: mail.debian.nirvana -> asmtp.mail.dk

/etc/email-adresses
niels: niels@???

/etc/exim4/passwd.client
asmtp.mail.dk:<my_userID>:<password>


When sending mail with mutt, the messages hangs in ~/mail/sent/cur and
wont go any further :(


Some log's:

niels@debian:/etc$ cat hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost debian
127.0.1.1 debian.nirvana debian

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
