[ale] Getting exim to work with bellsouth

[Jim]

OK, that was a bust.  I desperately need to get mail running on this 
system.  Can anyone share a working configuration of any MTA that runs 
on a RH type of system?  Sendmail, postfix exim, or anything else that 
works with bellsouth.net.

It came with sendmail and I tried to configure it with webmin, but that 
didn't work either.  I have a running exim on a Debian system, but 
that's 'cause debian has this nice configuration script that asks you 
questions and if you respond correctly, it generates the config.  
However it is very debian specific and didn't translate to centos at all. :(

Thanks,
Jim.
