Shyamal, Thank you for responding,
I am really not "Up and Running yet," and since we are talking about the likelyhood of my box being badly configured, I would rather not post the DNS name yet (and I keep the thing off-line 99% of the time anyway), no offense please! I am reasonably sure they are set up correctly as I was talked through it by the tech support person at VeriSign. In the many different things I have done I did do one Telnet to the server from the Windows box which passed the test...in a couple of the previous messages on this I did check the /var/log/exim/mainlog and it looked to me like I was getting mail. -----Original Message----- From: Shyamal Prasad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 7:46 PM To: Debian-User@Lists.

Hi Mike, Could you share the DNS name used for the MX record with us (i.e the world known email address served by this exim host)? If you'd prefer not to just say so, but since it is your *email* address I figure it's okay to tell it to the world ;-) Can you telnet to your exim server on the smtp port and send a mail to yourself? If you believe you are not receiving mail, look in your log files (/var/log/exim/mainlog) when you send yourself mail - what do you see? One other thing: I noticed the word 'smarthost' in the log file entries you posted on this. Does you use a smarthost or not? I think you were looking at Stephen's sample bit of log: the only bit I have posted for a recent mail is this (but no, I do not use a SmartHost): > ==> /var/log/exim/mainlog <== > 2002-10-02 02:20:10 17wXFK-0005dU-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] U=carel P=local > S=319 > 2002-10-02 02:20:11 17wXFK-0005dU-00 => [EMAIL PROTECTED] > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=smarthost T=remote_smtp H=schaduw.felnet > [192.168.1.1] > 2002-10-02 02:20:11 17wXFK-0005dU-00 Completed Best Wishes!
