 ==============================
 
 If you want to set up exim as SMTP AUTH client for delivery to your
-internet access provider's smarthost put the name of the
-server, your login and password in /etc/exim4/passwd.client:
+internet access provider's smarthost add a following line
+to /etc/exim4/passwd.client:
 
 name.of.server.example:mylogin:secretpassword
 
+Here,
+ "name.of.server.example" is the canonical host name of the SMTP server,
+ "mylogin" is your login name to SMTP server, and
+ "secretpassword" is your password to the SMTP server.
+
+You must be careful about "name.of.server.example".  Many ISPs provide
+only the alias name of their SMTP server in their guide.  You need to
+check the canonical name by yourself manually using host command.  For
+example, if your ISP claims to provide SMTP host service at
+vsmtp.xx.point.ne.jp, try:
+
+ $ host vsmtp.xx.point.ne.jp
+ vsmtp.mb.point.ne.jp is an alias for vsmtpxx.dti.ne.jp.
+ vsmtpxx.dti.ne.jp has address 202.216.228.xxx
+
+Thus vsmtpxx.dti.ne.jp shall be used as the canonical host name in
+/etc/exim4/passwd.client.  When your ISP changes CNAME record for the
+alias host name, you need to update /etc/exim4/passwd.client file
+manually.
+
+If you do not know about your password for your SMTP host, you should try
+using your POP password as a good guess.
