It seems your MTA (exim) is not listening on port 25 (smtp) as is required if you want to receive mail (assuming that 24.201.62.169 is the correct IP and your ISP isn´t filtering port 25 to you). IIRC you can run exim in daemon mode or from inetd. ´man 5 exim´ or /usr/doc/exim/ should get you started. hth, &rw >Do you have the right DNS entries somewhere for your domain.
