I am still trying to find a command-line mail agent that works with
Bell Sympatico.

What's wrong with pine/mutt/emacs? As long as the ISP's servers speak
SMTP and POP3/IMAP, there should be no problem with any sensible Mail
User Agent.

pine relays to sendmail. sendmail doesn't work because Bell blocks
direct smtp.


I have downloaded and [installed] Exim, but I have not found how to
configure it to use the SMTP server as relay.

Wait, what? Are you sure you need a Mail Transfer Agent? Most people
don't need or want one. For general Exim configuration, one of the
first places you should look is http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/FAQ/ , as
there's a lot of helpful junk in there. I think Q0304, "How do I
configure Exim to send all non-local mail to a gateway host?" is what
you want to look at.

Shall look at it.
