Re: [PLUG] exim4 and local delivery

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

I think my mail headers look right, but craigslist doesn't like my
smtp conversations (see transcript below).

I tried running exim4 in debug mode, but mutt doesn't go through port
25 to send mail (reasonable enough).

I tried setting (in .muttrc)

    set sendmail="/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -oem -d -v"

but then mail isn't delivered at all, but I see no error message.  The
mail isn't delivered, the log shows nothing, not even an attempt.

I can't find in the man page how to debug the conversation to find out
what exim is saying.

Anyone know how to do this?

Here's the exim4 log of the attempt to send to craigslist.org:
