I've spent another day struggling with this, but without sucess. Here is
some more
information.
When I try to send a message, I get the error:
SMTP response error: 550, "5.1.1. you must be authenticated to use
this
server"
It seems smtp, including IPv6, is listening on all ports
$ netstat -l | grep smtp
tcp 0 0 *.smtp *.* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 *.smtp *.* LISTEN
It seems that my name values are OK:
$ hostname
teufel
$ hostname -d
hartford-hwp.com
$ hostname -f
teufel.hartford-hwp.com
So I telnet myself:
# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 teufel.hartford-hwp.com ESMTP Exim 4.63 Wed, 25 Apr 2007 15:32:17

HELO localhost
250 teufel.hartford-hwp.com Hello root at localhost [127.0.0.1]
MAIL from: haines@localhost

A telnet message from haines to localhost

421 teufel.hartford-hwp.com: SMTP command timeout - closing
connection
Connection closed by foreign host.
I would have exprected "localhost.localdomain" here to have been
expanded, but
otherwise it seems the message went out but couldn't be delivered. In
/var/log/exim4/mainlog:
2007-04-25 14:57:54 1HgmgN-0003tD-D0 <= haines@localhost
H=localhost [127.0.0.1] U=root P=smtp S=352
2007-04-25 14:57:54 1HgmgN-0003tD-D0 no IP address found for host

2007-04-25 14:57:54 1HgmgN-0003tD-D0 == brownh@???
R=smarthost defer (-1): lookup of host "brownh@???"
failed in smarthost router
Either brownh@??? couldn't be parsed or there's no IP
address
associated with the domain name. And yet, in my /etc/hosts file (exc
IPv6 section):
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.1.1 teufel.hartford-hwp.com teufel
Should I have added an alias to the second line? But this does not seem
right and
did not help:
127.0.1.1 teufel.hartford-hwp.com hartford-hwp.com teufel
My /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf file:
