I posted this to the exim4-users list and they said I''d have better luck here since I''m dual booting Ubuntu Hardy and Lenny. I''m at a loss as to where to specify my isp''s smtp server. Exim4 installed with a plethora of configuration files and I''m getting cross eyed trying to hunt thru them. I looked at eximconfig but am unsure of some of the options. running a search showed sites that looked applicable but they referred to a single config file. I would appreciate a pointer or two.

Some of the terminology was foreign to me. I''ve been used to using Pine/Alpine.
