Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me out. The smtp server I'm forced (by my ISP) to use, smtp.rcn.com, sometimes doesn't respond for 20 seconds at a time, and since I often send from Gnus -- which is synchronous -- I thought I might avoid locking up my Gnus UI by setting up an Exim daemon to send the messages for me. I'm behind a Linksys router, which is behind a cablemodem. Unfortunately, nothing goes out. I get 2005-06-03 17:24:25 exim 4.50 daemon started: pid=5800, no queue runs, listening for SMTP on port 25 (IPv4) 2005-06-03 17:24:38 IHJ252-00004S-31 <= dave@boost-consulting.com U=dave P=local S=483 id=u1x7jp209.fsf@boost-consulting.com 2005-06-03 17:24:38 IHJ252-00004S-31 == dave@boost-consulting.com R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host in the log over and over again. Running exim with -c -d -bd isn't very illuminating (to me at least): bash-2.05b$ exim -c -d -bd CYGWIN = "". Root / mapped to C:\.

I'm sure I'm much too ignorant of networking and mail issues, but the instructions for configuring exim don't seem all that clear to me. For example, I don't know how to configure the "primary hostname." I'm hoping someone can help. I've attached my exim.conf. Thanks,
