Getting ready
In this section, we're going to use our Debian machine.
To ensure that Exim is installed on your system, run the following:
$ sudo apt install exim4 -y
There's quite a few packages in the Exim suite, and it can take some time to run through them all.
Check it's running with systemctl status:
$ systemctl status exim4● exim4.service - LSB: exim Mail Transport Agent Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/exim4; generated; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Wed 2018-12-05 17:38:01 GMT; 1min 29s ago Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) Process: 5402 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/exim4 start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Tasks: 1 (limit: 4915) CGroup: /system.slice/exim4.service └─5649 /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m
