Nick didn't sound as if he wanted to prevent Exim from running; he needed it to cease listening to his outside interface's port 25. (Without an MTA of some sort running, strictly local mail might have a bit of a problem, no?) Thus my suggestion of saying in exim.conf that the only interface the daemon should listen on is loopback. I think everyone's so used to giving the "remove the symlinks" answer that they didn't stop to consider better ways, in light of Nick's described situation. -- Cheers, There are only 10 types of people in this world -- Rick Moen those who understand binary arithmetic and those who don't.
