Thanks William, I thought it must have been possible. So, any idea how
to do it?

Sorry - I just about have a handle on exim. I'm not at all familiar with
the configuration requirements of others.

However, I would suggest that you grab a real news-reader, connect to a
real news server and trawl the groups looking for a group which is
dedicated to the product you are trying to use.

This is an excellent resource for issues directly related to Debian, but
the skill-sets/knowledge you need are guaranteed to be more diluted here
than in a specialist group.

OK, thanks! I'm off to the sendmail group!

Are you sure? I can't think of any isp that wouldn't provide email.
