Re: exim4 maybe too complex to remain useful

Thanks for the exim4 smart host help. I would almost go with postfix except the smart host requires authentication but doesn't support any encryption for doing authentication on their end. It's probably what most internet service providers are now doing since ssl and cram md5 and tls are a hassle for them to set up and maintain on their ends.

If using exim4 and it's necessary to use a smarthoast where can that be
configured? I find sendmail less complex than exim4 and all other mail
transport agents I've tried less complex than the pair of them.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

Adn this is waaaaaay less complex than anything else I've seen for
smarthost!

postfix is also easy to config using dpkg-reconfigure for smarthost.

Anyone who says that "sendmail less complex than ..." refuses to
learn new things.

This is also useful, even for non-GMail configuration:
