[Xbox-linux-user] xebian 1.1.4 mail configured

[Simon N. <sim...@ho...>]

Thank you for the helpful response on this, I've got it working as 
summarised below.

Exim4 is the mail transfer agent and is the main thing to get working.
Configuration can be done with:

% base-config

or

% dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

I set up my Xbox with the "direct connection to the internet option"
and after setting my router to forward SMTP to the xbox, it can now
send and recieve internet mail, aswell as transmit mail between local
users.

Test emails can be crafted with

% echo "test message" | mail -s "Test message" root

and the mail error log monitored with

tail -f /var/log/exim4/mainlog

All emails to root are directed to the admin account. I haven't
figured out why yet, but at least I am happy that the mail system
is basically working.
