Someone already mentioned (replied off-list, and thanks) that exim is for sending mail; so my problem isn't with exim. So I guess my problem is with a imapd server.... I have a uw-imapd running, and that works internally (i.e. inside the home I can use mozilla to read mail from the mail server via another internal box). But again, sending mail directly to the mail "box" from an external host won't work (though other tcp stuff works like ftp, http, etc). Eventually get an e-mail from the external sending host "failed MX lookup". So what do I need to setup so that mail is received directly? Again, fetchmail will work, but I can't get it directly sent (I have a domain name, etc.). And, what tcp/ip port should I have my dsl/router set up for forwarding to the mail server? Thank you for your thoughts. -- Eric Cheney [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sociostat.org/eric/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
