Try dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config. Tell it you want to send and receive by SMTP and give it the appropriate domain name(s). Tell it which domains/IP ranges you want it to relay mail for (probably just the local network) and what interfaces to listen on (localhost and the NIC).
I just installed ProMepis and it installs by default exim4 SMTP service. I am looking for a simple working configuration for exim4 (I have been using Sendmail and have tried Postfix too!).
Requirements is that it should send to and receive from remote domains (office box connected to Internet via LAN). The error message sent back by exim is:
... Mailing to remote domains is not supported
in fact, it does not send to another machine in the same domain!
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Oh, tell it you want to keep the single config file. Afterwards, look at /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf. Yes, that's two 'conf's. You can just edit this file by hand and run update-exim4.conf, or use the dpkg command again.
