I was wondering if eximconfig is doing the right thing for this option. I have machines which are connected on a network, and I want to have a MTA but only for the benefit of apps like cron or debconf which need to send local mail.
I expected that Option 4 of eximconfig (Local delivery only) would block any TCP/IP conections to exim, but it doesn't; I'm still able to send e-mail from a different machine successfully. Shouldn't eximconfig warn about this? Or am I missing something? (very likely) Anyway, what's the best way to achieve what I want? Run exim from inetd via tcp wrappers and protect it in hosts.deny? Run exim as a daemon and give it an option to not listen to port 25, or not use SMTP transport at all? All I want is local mail.
