procmail installed but missing components

Hello!

I am running Virtual Bugzilla Server 3.4 with Debian Lenny and am encountering some issues in configuring procmail. It says that procmail is installed and up to date, however none of the components (ex: .procmailrc) are there. I'm not sure if there is something within VBS that limits what I am able to do, but I have root access and do not see what would cause this to happen. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated; Thank you!

Best,

Toni

Exim4 smarthost multiple senders

Hi, I am a bit new to Exim4. I have been reading a lot and I can't find a solution to my case.
I use gmail as smarthost thru one of my gmail accounts, so /etc/exim4/passwd.client has the right configuration of my default account.
Mail is sent Ok but, my application must send mail from different senders (ale...@mydomain.com, i...@mydomain.com ....) and I do not know how to do it; all it's been done thru my authtenticated gmail account and so always the same sender. has to do with aliases? rewriting headers? .....hooooow pleeeeeaaase
Please help getting nuts at the moment.

exim4, smarthost, sending mail

I configured the exim4 server to use a smarthost (my email company). I also turned on the header rewriting so that the address matches the one sent from the email company's domain. This domain requires SSL, and exim4 should, as far as I understand the documentation handle this correctly.

I switched on the header rewriting because I heard that smarthost will usually decline mail coming from a dynamic address assigned by a provider, unless the header is what is used by that domain.

Yet, I am unable to send anything. The process of sending email proceeds like this:

delivering 1QIL2j-0001Vw-F8
R: smarthost for d...@xxx.xx
T: remote_smtp_smarthost for d...@xxx.xx
LOG: retry_defer MAIN

getmail and SSL IMAP

I have problems with getmail receiving mail from one IMAP/SSL account.
This particular one sends some SSL certificate (forgive the perhaps inadequate terminology, I am new to this) and I suspect this may be the problem (i can fetch mail from this server without any problem using one of the all-in-one GUI email clients such as Thunderbird which asks me to accept the certificate).

The error returned by getmail is:
socket error ([Errno 110] Connection timed out)

My configuration file:

[retriever]
type = SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever
server = mail.somewhere.net
port = someport
mailboxes = ("INBOX","Sent")
username = someusername
password = somepass

[destination]
type = MDA_external
path = /usr/bin/procmail
unixfrom = True
user = someuser

[options]
read_all = false
