Subject: [exim] No IP address found for host
When I attempt to send a message with rmail, /var/log/exim4/mainlog says
that "no IP address found for host <PW>" "Look up of hos <PW> failed in
smarthost router". [Here "<PW>" is my password]

When configuring exim, when it asked for the hostname of the outgoing
smart host, I entered:

"smtp.registeredsite.com:hartford-hwp.com:<PW>"

Do I have the syntax wrong here?

$ netstat -rn
Destination     Gateway         Genmask
192.168.111.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0
0.0.0.0         192.168.111.1   0.0.0.0


192.168.111.1 is my hardware firewall. I have a stand-alone workstation
feeting a hardware firewall.

In /etc/hosts I have:

127.0.0.1
192.168.111.1
