[Novalug] Emacs and vm

[Alvin Smith]

I want to know if there is someone who really understands how to
configure vm, and also understands what can go wrong especially when
it comes to sending mail.

Have there been changes to to way emacs is configured in the last few
version updates?

Our attempt to transfer the dot emacs file from one system to another
has failed.  The "incoming" portion of the file is being read.  We
know this because we are receiving email from the ISP.  But the
outgoing portion that worked before seems to be ignored and instead of
using vm's mechanism for dealing with smtp, it seems to be using what
I believe to be exim which fails because it has not been configured at
all for any purpose.

If I could see your working dot emacs file's section where you have
configured your outgoing mail, that might help as well.

Thanks,
-- Alvin
