With or without using -plow I get this result:

dc_eximconfig_configtype=''
dc_other_hostnames='corinnis.guefz.de'
dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1;192.168.1.3'
dc_readhost=''
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets='192.168.1.0/24'
dc_smarthost='smtp.netcologne.de'
CFILEMODE='644'
dc_use_split_config='true'
dc_hide_mailname='false'
dc_mailname_in_oh='true'
dc_localdelivery='mail_spool'

It seems that the original file is not read. Despite having smarthost
in the original file, the first dialog has marked Internet-Server and
no matter which option I choose, after the first dialog execution ends
and I get the result from above.

What else should I check?

Regards

Günter
