Hello all. I have been trying to set up my 'email' system on my computer, on which I recently installed Debian 2.2r0.
I intend to use exim, procmail, fetchmail, and mutt. At the moment I am having problems with fetchmail or is it with exim or [...fill the space yourself...]. I have been trying to telnet localhost 25 but to no avail all I get is Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. or Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused I have used the above setup before (on a machine which used slink) without much problems and as for as I know my configuration is pretty much the same. In /etc/exim.conf I have local_domains = localhost:debian and host_accept_relay = localhost In /etc/inetd.conf I have smtp stream tcp wait mail /usr/sbin/exim exim -bs Can anyone offer any pointers as to how I could solve this problem or how I could troubleshoot this problem. TIA T:Irvine
