[techtalk] exim sending problems

[Raven, corporate courtesan]

Heya --

     It could be easy, or not.

     After you make any config changes to exim, you have to killall
-HUP exim to have it reread exim.conf.  So if you forgot to do this
after setting up exim, that could be your problem.

> Number: 0x800CCC79

     Another thing that springs to mind: did you turn on relaying for
your local network?  If you haven't and you need it, you should have
something like

host_accept_relay = localhost : [IP block of your local net/CIDr mask]

     Was the failed message to your local domain or to another network?
 Sent from an account on your local domain, or not?

Cheers,
Raven
