exim4

[John Heim]

Right, as Willemsaid in his message, exim4 sends mail and fetchmail fetches 
it. But if you are having trouble receiving messages you send to yourself, 
that might be a problem with either the send part or the receiving part. You 
need to test them seperatly.

Use the email account you're using to post to this list to send yourself a 
message on your linux machine. If you don't get it, then you know the 
problem is in fetchmail. Also send yourself a message from your linux 
machine to your other account. If you don't get it, then you know you have 
something wrong in your eexim4 configuration.

To test your exim4 configuration, do this:

echo "hello" | mail -s test1 'daniel.dalton47 at gmail.com'

Then check your daniel.dalton47 at gmail.com> account to see if you got the 
message.
