Re: [exim] Using exim4 as a SMTP client to connect to my ISP…

I added the following to my /etc/email-addresses file:

nobody: me@???

Then I ran the commands:

sudo update-exim4.conf
sudo /etc/init.d/exim4 restart

Now that my exim has been restarted, I run my PHP mail script again.

I ran the command:

tail /var/log/exim4/mainlog

Here's the mainlog contents:

2007-09-24 23:15:20 1IZpea-0002GU-Kb <= me@??? U=nobody P=local
S=434
2007-09-24 23:15:24 1IZpea-0002GU-Kb => anothervalidemail@???
R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost H=whatever.com [74.200.79.210]
X=TLS-1.0:RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA1:32

2007-09-24 23:15:24 1IZpea-0002GU-Kb Completed

Seems like I am getting no errors but I still did not receive any emails.
