Abdul, I had a similar problem with exim. It complained about relaying mail when I tried to send mail through it using Outlook on a networked PC. I would recommend re-running exim.conf. Try selecting another option at the first question, server type. This took care of the problem for me.

Thanks for the reply - it does not get to the ISP's mail server but stays in local machine, and gets bounced back to user who sent it. I did try exim but had exactly the same problem, so installed smail instead. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
