Postfix 1, Exim 0

A few weeks ago, the exim installation on my ubuntu laptop stopped using SMTP AUTH to communicate with its smarthost. I wrestled with it for a few hours over the intervening time and never made any progress.

Tonight I thought "maybe I'll see if postfix can do it." I did an "apt-get install postfix", then followed these instructions) and, less than 15 minutes later, it was working.
