exim troubles - is there an end to this?

[Sandip P Deshmukh]

hello all!

my troubles with exim seem to be endless!

here is my exim.conf file:

######################################################################
# TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION #
######################################################################
# ORDER DOES NOT MATTER #
# Only one appropriate transport is called for each delivery. #
######################################################################

# This transport is used for delivering messages over SMTP connections.

remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
# authenticate_hosts = smarthost.isp.com

# To use SMTP AUTH when sending to a particular host, such as your ISP's
# smarthost, uncomment and edit the above line, and also the example
# client-side authenticators at the bottom of the file

end


######################################################################
# ROUTERS CONFIGURATION #
# Specifies how remote addresses are handled #
######################################################################
# ORDER DOES MATTER #
# A remote address is passed to each in turn until it is accepted. #
######################################################################

# Remote addresses are those with a domain that does not match any item
# in the "local_domains" setting above.

# Send all mail to a smarthost

smarthost:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "* 192.168.100.1 byname"

end


now, 192.168.100.1 is ip address of nt server we have here to which i am connected. i use the same address in my mozilla as smtp server and it works well.

here is what i got in mainlog in /var/log/exim:

i do not know what are start queue run and what messages are frozen. by the way, the first message - sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] was successfully received. the other one - [EMAIL PROTECTED] was never received!

in an earlier attempt, i had tried a few working e-mail addresses and the messages were never delivered.

i have checked if the mail has bounced - it has not. no fresh mail for sandip or root on my system.

now, my questions are:

- what is wrong with my exim.conf?

- what are message is frozen messages?

- what do i need to do so that i am able to send messages using exim?

thanx

-sandip
