Hello!
Every 10-20 minutes I see in my exim's paniclog lines:
2006-04-24 12:15:39 getsockname() failed: Connection reset by peer
2006-04-24 12:15:39 daemon: fclose(smtp_out) failed: Broken pipe
What does this mean? What is wrong? Can it be because of problems whit
connection to LDAP server?
We are now accepting bookings for the 3-day Exim course in Cambridge,
UK, in July (18th - 21st). For full details of the course and how to
register, please see http://www-tus.csx.cam.ac.uk/courses/exim/.

There's a huge difference. I answer a great many questions with

There are some people who are rude here but you do get questions
