For non-admin users, exim only displays messages which are owned by that user. Adding "queue_list_requires_admin = false" to /etc/exim.conf will allow you (any user, actually) to see the entire list. > Where does the mail go in between the time fetchmail delivers it until it > shows up in my mailbox, sometimes many minutes later?

You should still be able to use runq to force an immediate delivery... at least, it still works on my system (slink). [EMAIL PROTECTED] which runq /usr/sbin/runq [EMAIL PROTECTED] ls -l /usr/sbin/runq lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 11 06:31 /usr/sbin/runq -> exim Perhaps /usr/sbin isn't in your $PATH? If you want to force exim to deliver all incoming mail immediately, you can add "smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 0" to /etc/exim.conf. > I searched the debian user list more than a year into the past for any email > abouot exim and read them all.
