I'll give this a shot: When you set up Exim, did you make choice 1 or 2 (or some other choice)? If you chose number 1, then there is a configuration problem within Exim. If you chose #2, does the remote_smtp server exist? > What is /etc/aliases file for? I ca't remember touching this, but it seems > to be part of exim's configuration. Lat two lines say: > > mailer-daemon: postmaster > webmaster: root That /etc/aliases file is where you appoint aliases for e-mail users. For example, using the two lines you provided above, all mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be bounced to the postmaster. All mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be bounced to root. Cheers, Daryl -- Daryl C.
