Once I figured out that I needed the smtp MTS, it was
probably a couple of hours and I was already tired. The month was
an intermittent project of trying to figure out how to make
exim4's version of sendmail do what it is not designed to do.
I ... do not think we're talking about the same thing? In nmh's termology,
the smtp MTS is speaking directly to a SMTP server. A local version of
exim4 wouldn't be involved. This would involve configuration settings
like this:
send: -server some.smarthost.com -port submission -user username@domain
It sounds like you're using the "sendmail/smtp" MTS, which runs whatever
you are using as a local copy of sendmail but speaks SMTP to it (generally
by using the -bs flag). This is distinct from "sendmail/pipe" (the old
undocumented spost), which runs your sendmail with the -t flag and just
outputs the message via a pipe to the sendmail program.
I hope this all is clearer than mud :-/
