Re: [exim] [Newbie] Configure exim for a LAN

Hi everyone,

so i use now exim4.conf on both machines ("client" and "server").
HOwever route rules by default are not enough for me to route mails from my
client (atom.example.org 10.0.0.3) to the serveur
(server.example.org10.0.0.2)...
I tried Phil rules, but it did'nt work out.
Any of my two machine achive find its way on the LAN...

Moreover, I continued to work on the telnet thing... telnet
serveur.example.org 25
Must the "server" respond even if it is not considered as a relay host ?

In fact i'd like my two machines to send themself mails without any "smtp
help" from anywhere, just by theirselves...is it possible?

Thanks again
