I re-installed exim (I think for the last time now). I can see the queue. All the messages are reported to be frozen. Eximon does show some messages. > This is because you are running as user, and you do not have permissions > to /var/log/exim.

I did that and at least eximon showed something, but nothing that made me more wise about what is going on. Thank you for all your trouble. Earlier in this list I queried the correctness of somebody's mentioning of an "upgrade" to smail. I had a lot of responses and some of the responses convinced me to try once again. I have now, over the last weeks removed smail, installed exim , removed exim , reinstalled smail about 6 times. I have had no success so far. Maybe I will try once (only once ) again when I have Debian 2.0. I do not have time to waste like this. I want to convince my friends to use Linux. I will keep them away from programs like exim until it can be installed to work the first time. Regards.
