One quick test is to set up an email client (Netscape whatever) to talk to sympatico's smtp server directly (leaving out your exim server). If you can send mail from this then permissions to send are OK, and we look around the Exim configuration.

I have several Windows machines behind the firewall too which are able to do this so it must be Exim's configuration. OK so routing and mail permissions are OK.

I think my host does resolve properly because if you type www.cell.dhs.org into a web browser from an external machine it brings up the default web page on my server. Yep. Hey, it the same as mine (when I'm on)!

If you used to use sendmail, do you still have the working sendmail.cf file? If so that will give you most of the information you need.

I may still have it. I'll have to check. If so, maybe you want to go back to sendmail (not that I'm knocking exim). Some of the guys on the redhat-install-list are good email setup people if you don't get joy on the exim list.

thx for the help! You are welcome to my small bit of knowledge. Sorry to everyone else that this has got quite OT.
