This is so frustrating. I had like 20 emails in my spool directory, which I deleted. But I still can't send email.I have not touched exim's configuration files for months so I don't know why this is happening
What is /etc/aliases file for? I ca't remember touching this, but it seems to be part of exim's configuration. Lat two lines say: mailer-daemon: postmaster webmaster: root Maybe I'll try the mutt or exim mailing list. -- Taro ------Original Message------ From: Ethan Benson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org Sent: February 24, 2001 10:03:14 AM GMT Subject: Re: mutt problems sending email On Sat, Feb 24, 2001 at 02:15:05AM -0500, Taro Fukunaga wrote: > mailq reveals unsent messages. > > There is an entry in /etc/inetd.conf for exim.
