I'd prefer dma instead.
Exim has options not to run a listening daemon. From /etc/default/exim4: # 'combined' - one daemon running queue and listening on SMTP port # 'no' - no daemon running the queue # 'separate' - two separate daemons # 'ppp' - only run queue with /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4. # 'nodaemon' - no daemon is started at all. # 'queueonly' - only a queue running daemon is started, no SMTP listener. # setting this to 'no' will also disable queueruns from /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4 QUEUERUNNER='combined' The 'queueonly' option has a daemon that processes the queue for mail sent locally via 'sendmail', yet has no listening port at all. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us GPG Key: 4096R/0x1E759A726A9FDD74
