[Pkg-exim4-users] Troubleshooting exim4 in Wheezy.

[Peter Easthope]

Hi,

Exim4 in Wheezy here.

I followed the instructions in http://wiki.debian.org/exim.
Created /etc/exim4/exim.crt and /etc/exim4/exim.key using exim-gencert.
Put my user and passwd in /etc/exim4/passwd,client.
Tested with swaks.

The transcript from swaks and data from 6:59 onward in
/var/log/exim4/mainlog follow.
The only complaints I recognize are the lines of the mainlog citing
"retry" and "Frozen".  No insight for me.

The swaks message wasn't delivered to the recipient.
What should be done to solve this?

Thanks,               ... Peter E.
