This has been discussed on this mailing list a couple of days ago, and also on the exim mailing list. It has to do with IPV6 support, and there is a fix out, but this means you will have to compile exim from source. If you prefer to use the exim deb, you will probably have to downgrade to 2.11 and put it on hold until a deb comes along with the fix applied. Remember to replace /etc/exim.conf with the one from before the upgrade after having downgraded to 2.11. --- Regards, Christian Dysthe Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bigfoot.com/~cdysthe ICQ 3945810 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux --- "Clones are people two"
Re: Exim Problem (I think....)
Well, it works for me. I'm using kernel 2.2.10. When setting up fetchmail, I couldn't get it to work so, after reading these posts, I downgraded to slink exim (2.05). Then I realized I had fetchmailrc wrong and re-installed exim 3.02-1. It's working fine. My kernel is compiled without IPV6 support.

Having seen the recent problems with Exim being posted to the list, I thought that was my problem when my outgoing mail stopped working the other day, however after some poking around I discovered it was in fact Mutt looking for sendmail (and failing) that was my problem. This is a known bug in Mutt, and the solution is listed in the Debian bug database with the bug report. -- Matthew Gregan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
