I'm giving up on plip, at least for the present; I've spent the best part of 3 days on it, reading HOWTOs until I'm cross-eyed, and can't afford to have my parallel port locked up all the time. I thought it would be a good way of backing stuff up but it seems to be too difficult to be practical.

telnet ...Connection refused
Hello all. I have been trying to set up my 'email' system on my computer, on which I recently installed Debian 2.2r0. I intend to use exim, procmail, fetchmail, and mutt. At the moment I am having problems with fetchmail or is it with exim or [...fill the space yourself...]. I have been trying to telnet localhost 25 but to no avail all I get is Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. or Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused I have used the above setup before (on a machine which used slink) without much problems and as for as I know my configuration is pretty much the same. In /etc/exim.conf I have local_domains = localhost:debian and host_accept_relay = localhost In /etc/inetd.conf I have smtpstream tcp waitmail/usr/sbin/exim exim -bs Can anyone offer any pointers as to how I could solve this problem or how I could troubleshoot this problem. TIA T:Irvine

Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused im guessing you just did 'telnet localhost' there and did not specify the port, on many systems telnetd isnt installed by default, if you want it you must apt-get install telnetd. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
