Hello guys,
Got this error after install and config of exim4-daemon-light and mailutils packages on Debian Squeeze. This package is aimed to send automatic messages from websites, like email confirmation and stuff.
Configuration after package install:
dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
You'll be presented with a welcome screen, followed by a screen asking what type mail delivery you'd like to support. Choose the option for "internet site" and select "Ok" to continue.
After many configuration sceens you can test mail with:
echo "test message" | mail -s "test
message"
[email protected]
Here is the response:
root@server:/etc# echo "test message" | mail -s "test message"
[email protected]

There is no /var/log/exim4 directory on my server. I tried to create it, but it didn't work.
Please, can someone help me?
Best regards,
Fernando
