Haven't found that message yet.

In the verbose output from the second command, these three lines catch
my eye.
"cached data used for lookup of root
  in /etc/email-addresses
lookup failed"
I added "root: peter at easthope.ca" to email-addresses although do not
recall seeing it mentioned in any instructions for configuration.

Today swaks hits a closed gate immediately and I can't think of what changed.
peter at dalton:/etc/shorewall$ swaks --to pleasthope at gmail.com  -s localhost
=== Trying localhost:25...
*** Error connecting to localhost:25:
*** 	IO::Socket::INET: connect: Connection refused

Also, paniclog has four lines with this complaint.
2014-03-04 21:29:16 socket bind() to port 25 for address 172.24.1.1
failed: Cannot assign requested address: daemon abandoned

I might be overlooking a basic requirement.  My intention is that
swaks speaks SMTP to localhost:25, exim4. Then the exim4 speaks
SMTP to ccx.websitewelcome.com:465.  exim4 is configured to call
ccx.websitewelcome:465.  Is explicit port forwarding required for
the transition from port 25 to 465 in exim4?

This localhost also has a Shorewall fw zone.  If anyone knows of a
requirement in Shorewall, please comment.

Thanks,            ... Peter E.
