MH programs do explicitly call sendmail: linda:/usr/home/olly$ strings /usr/bin/mh/send | grep sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail sendmail but if sendmail is linked to exim, and exim behaves the same way, I don't see why MH should care. -- Oliver Elphick[EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

For instance, there are sendmail links to /sbin/exim in /usr/lib and /usr/sbin. Does mh use some features of sendmail that are not provided by exim? Also, fetchmail is not working either...

exim / mh problems
Hello, I have been running sendmail on my machine at home for a long time with few problems. I use mh and exmh, and sometimes elm. When I recently installed Debian on a machine at work I decided to try exim instead of sendmail. I liked it so I replaced sendmail with exim on my machine at home. Now I am having some problems on my home machine. I can send mail fine using elm, but when I try to send a message using mh, I get the following: leisure:~> send Use "/home/ken/Mail/drafts/2"? y post: problem initializing server; [BHST] no servers available send: message not delivered to anyone The exim process is running in daemon mode; I can see it using ps. Another problem is with incoming mail. I use fetchmail to retrieve mail from my Debian machine (flounder) at work which runs qpopper. I believe flounder is configured properly because this worked great when sendmail was installed at home. This is what I get when I try to fetch mail: leisure:~> fetchmail -v fetchmail: 3.8.0 querying flounder.efficient.com (protocol POP3) at Fri Oct 17 08:13:53 1997 fetchmail: POP3< +OK QPOP (version 2.2) at flounder.efficient.com starting. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> fetchmail: POP3> USER ken fetchmail: POP3< +OK Password required for ken. fetchmail: POP3> PASS * ...

Can anyone suggest what I should check to figure this out?
