The Debian configurator asked for a domain name or IP address for the
smarthost. I gave IP address 158.69.159.172. Later a comment in the
debian-user list motivated reverting to the domain name. Will see
the result when I test again.

$ ls -ld /etc/exim4/pass*
-rw-r----- 1 root Debian-exim 234 Apr 9 21:31 /etc/exim4/passwd.client

Also mentioned in https://wiki.debian.org/Exim4Gmail under heading
"Verification of the Configuration and Troubleshooting". As hinted
there, applied "chmod 640 /etc/exim4/passwd.client".

Will test again later.

Thanks,             ... P.
