I am using exim4. I have configured and run it. But it only works for localhost. When i try to do something like this exim4 -v someone@somewhere.com, it gives me the error of connection time out.
What is wrong in sending emails to remote location?
this is the error i get
mx4.hotmail.com [65.54.188.110] Connection timed out

Here is my guess.. You are doing this from a home internet connection. Most ISPs block outbound connections to port 25 to all other hosts but their own email server(s) to stop people from sending spam from their home connections or to stop spam bots.
