The debian exim package installs this command in /etc/cron.d/exim which if you were to RTFM you would see flushes exim's queue As for why it causes an outgoing connection - you have to get into /etc/exim/exim.conf - but fear not - its very easy once you get started. - -- Alan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8Fw1V1mf3M5ZDr2kRAlI7AJ428+B4nKShtGQMDxmpjElZuNUj3ACffzjg 6gDbeGrXaD1jl5W4GCom+lA= =BaKI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
