So fetchmail doesn't send it through exim4? from man fetchmail ... [..] As each message is retrieved fetchmail normally delivers it via SMTP to port 25 on the machine it is running on (localhost), just as though it were being passed in over a normal TCP/IP link. [..] If no port 25 listener is available, but your fetchmail configuration was told about a reliable local MDA, it will use that MDA for local delivery instead.

I think I see what you are saying. Is there a command to check the config? Is the checking not good enough? So the system that's more suspicious would not be exim? -- Chris. ====== " ... the official version cannot be abandoned because the implication of rejecting it is far too disturbing: that we are subject to a government conspiracy of `X-Files' proportions and insidiousness."
