Hi,

I myself am not very familiar with exim, but on my server, the default 
mailcommand "mail" is contacting my localy installed kolab server and 
sends alert-mails through its smtp postfix.
So I would say, having a working exim setup would be all you need. You 
can arrange this by executing "dpkg-reconfigure exim4".

You can test your exim by doing the following:

# telnet localhost 25
From: me at localhost
To: user-dba585b1b7bf@xymon.invalid
Subject: Exit Test
<Ctrl> + D

Kind regards

Hi,

	I am wondering if anyone has any experience with setting up the
email alerts in Hobbit to be sent via Exim4 on a Debian server to external
recipients? This seems to be one of the last pieces I am putting together to
migrate from BB to Hobbit. And I am kinda stuck with what I need to do to
get it working. I am not very familiar with email servers settings of any
kind right now. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
