I've never configured an MTA before and I'm finding it rather difficult.
I'm using exim v3.35 & mutt v1.3. 

What I want to do is send a message to my cox account. What do I need to
configure in exim.conf? I would assume I need to tell it where to find
cox's smtp server and my cox account id. Since I'm not well versed in
mail transport lingo, reading the config file and exim docs haven't
helped me much.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thx,
Bart
