Subject: [exim] how to configure exim if I only want to send mail from phpscript
Hello Exim Users, this is my first post.

I am new to exim, I want to use exim only for sending system messages,
email confirmations, contact requests, private messages, etc from my
Joomla and Drupal sites.
(For incoming mail I use gmail.)
After a few hours docs reading and google searching my Joomla and
Drupal are able to send messages.
But I am not sure whether I configured exim properly or not regarding
security, performance, spam, etc...

Can anybody tell me some suggestion regarding my config, please?

Thanks, Laja
