Thanks to Bob for the pointer to the ''correct'' way to solve
this.
I had read that in the FAQ, yet somehow put in the 
''smtp_accept_max_per_connection'' instead.  :-(

Other then the ISP being very inconsistant, the only thing I wonder about is the
"wtopa@intergate.com".  Shouldn''t that be wtopa@localhost or
wtopa@buddy.mtntop.home
which is the local domain?  In the /etc/email-addresses it reads

It still looks like the ISP''s smtp server is screwed up, to me.

Just updated and now running exim4 4.50-8.  Noticed that TLS is
enabled by default and, as my smtp server doesn''t use it, I have to
disable all the tls_* entries or I can''t send mail.  Commenting them
out allows me to send again.

While reading the new Docs,
/usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.gz, I see that there is a way
to enable TLS mentioned (as if it wasn''t enabled by default).
"Now, enable TLS by setting the macro MAIN_TLS_ENABLE in a local
configuration file (documented below)."

The "documented below" mentions the file
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros.  There is no exim4.conf.localmacros
file.  I suppose that means you have to create it but I can''t find
anything about how to add an entry to disable the MAIN_TLS_ENABLE macro.

Sorry for the delay in this reply.  A storm hit here yesterday and
caused us to lose power for 22 hours.

Thanks again

Wayne

These are the log entries, and not the output of a delivery attempt
invoked with exim4 -d.

Probably. A real debug output will help here.

Depends on what your MUA is delivering to exim.

but the server accepts the mail nevertheless. Is it your SMTP
smarthost _and_ MX for intergate.com?

Possibly. All I can see is that CRAM-MD5 authentication fails.

Your Smarthost doesn''t advertise STARTTLS, so exim should refrain from
using TLS when sending to that host. Please substantiate "can''t
send
mail" with debug output or at least state which error message you get.

This is because there are no local macros in the package.

Also from README.Debian in exim4-base 4.50-8:
| For split configuration, you can drop the
| local configuration file anywhere in /etc/exim4/conf.d/main. Just make
| sure it gets read before the macro is first used. 000_localmacros is a
| possible name, guaranteeing first order. For a non-split
| configuration, /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros gets read before
| /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template. To actually set the macro
| EXIM4_EXAMPLE to the value "this is a sample", write the following
line
|
| EXIM4_EXAMPLE = this is a sample
|
| into the appropriate file. For more detailed discussion of the general
| macro mechanism, see the exim specification, chapter 6.4, for details
| how macro expansion works.

Since this is the only place where  /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros
is mentioned in README.Debian, you seem to have stopped reading one
sentence too early.

Greetings
Marc
