 Well, after doing a clean install of Slink from cd's, it appears that the
 mail system is not working.  Last night, I did a clean install of slink, and
 setup fetchmail and exim and tested them.  Fetchmail pulled down my mail,
 and eventually exim delivered it (over an hour later).
 
 Well, today I ran them for real (told fetchmail to fetchall instead of
 keep).  Fetchmail worked fine, but the mail has never been delivered.  I can
 see it sitting in my /var/spool/exim/incoming dir, but exim won't deliver
 it.  Now it has been close to 3 hours since the initial run.
 
 Also,  I went to send this message out from tkrat and was given this error:
 550 relaying to debian-user@lists.debian.org prohibited by administrator.
 
 What the hell is going on, and how do I fix it.  I desperatily need to get
 my e-mail system working again.

Have you tried the command 'exim -bt -M mail-id-number' ?
To get these numbers, do a 'exim -bp'

Also, do 'ps ax' and find out from the exim entry how often Exim is delivering
mail.

I have never run it from inetd, but what do the logs say?
(mainlog and paniclog)

what happens if you do 'exim -qf' ?

Andrew,

  Here is the exim.conf file.  Please take a look and let me know if you see 
anything out of the ordinary.

Thanks for the help,]

# This is the main exim configuration file.
# It was originally generated by `eximconfig', part of the exim package
# distributed with Debian, but it may edited by the mail system administrator.
# This file originally generated by eximconfig at Fri Apr  9 20:06:46 EST 1999
# See exim info section for details of the things that can be configured here.

# Please see the manual for a complete list

# configuration file.

# This file is divided into several parts, all but the last of which are
# terminated by a line containing the word end. The parts must appear
# in the correct order, and all must be present (even if some of them are

# to do any local deliveries, uncomment the following line, but do not supply
# any data for it. This sets local_domains to an empty string, which is not
# the same as not mentioning it at all. An empty string specifies that there

# root that redirects such mail to a human administrator.
