No. It runs from /etc/rc2.d/S20exim I'm betting you need to change some of your local addresses in exim.conf from domain names to IPs. Every config option that requires it to check a domain name at startup time is going to do a DNS lookup. In particular, I set "local_domains" and "host_accept_relay" to use the usual IPs for the laptop (note, you really may need to rewrite those depending on the network you're attached to). I changed one of these specifically because of hearing about this situation - I think it was "host_accept_relay". -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
