Still not getting thru. Emailed list owner to see if I''m being blocked.

Trying this now with Alpine which, I don''t think, uses exim4

When prompted for a domain name in the server configuration window I''ve
used cox.net at times and left it blank at others. When I leave it blank
the next time I call it up it shows localhost, which I assume is the
default. Neither works.
My /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf file is:

dc_eximconfig_configtype=''smarthost''
dc_other_hostnames=''''
dc_local_interfaces=''''
dc_readhost=''''
dc_relay_domains=''''
dc_minimaldns=''false''
dc_relay_nets=''''
dc_smarthost=''smtp.west.cox.net''
CFILEMODE=''644''
dc_use_split_config=''false''
dc_hide_mailname=''false''
dc_mailname_in_oh=''true''
dc_localdelivery=''mail_spool''

Other than the smarthost designation I see no reference to cox.net.
I''m not sure what the dc_mailname_in_oh=''true'' line
refers to.

Thanks for your time. I really appreciate being led thru this.
