See what sort of messages you've got. Thank you very much for this valuable information. I got through the docs a bit more and realized, I had been sending the mail to smarthost (instead of uucp). Now I pretty much left the /etc/exim.conf on it's defaults and added the following lines first (before local_delivery): # TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION # # ORDER DOES NOT MATTER # uucp: driver = pipe user = nobody command = "/usr/local/bin/uux -r - \ ${substr_-5:$host}!rmail ${local_part}" return_fail_output = true I have to admit, I don't have the faintest idea, what I wrote here, I just took this example from the docs, as it stated, that this was a valid uucp- configuration taken out of an actual running system. I did not change the "directors configuration" but added those lines: # ROUTERS CONFIGURATION # # Specifies how remote addresses are handled # # ORDER DOES MATTER # uucphost: driver = domainlist transport = uucp route_list = "* downtown" uucp: driver = domainlist transport = uucp route_list = "* downtown" (I left the following lines as they were) smarthost: driver = domainlist transport = remote_smtp route_list = "* downtown bydns_a" end Now exim really can "deliver" mails, but the following errors are in the mainlog: 1999-02-03 22:47:33 107qNu-000031-00 Unfrozen by forced delivery 1999-02-03 22:47:33 107qNu-000031-00 ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=uucphost T=uucp: Child process of uucp transport returned 69 from command: /usr/ local/bin/uux 1999-02-03 22:47:33 108A8z-000078-00 <= <> R=107qNu-000031-00 U=mail P=local S=1319 1999-02-03 22:47:33 107qNu-000031-00 Error message sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1999-02-03 22:47:33 107qNu-000031-00 Completed The same message is generated by exim and emailed to root. I'm really desperate, I get email, but cannot send it, due to the above problems :-((( Can you or anybody enlighten a poor newbie? Thanks very much and kind regards Frederick
