Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
This doesn't look too good does it???
I am using exim. Does it have a daemon running that checks for incoming?
When I do "ps aux | grep exim" it doesn't find anything and when I do
"/etc/init.d/exim restart" it doesn't fix anything.
Thanks for your help.
