Nothing quite like replying to your own posts: I sent the previous message last night & went to bed. This morning, everything is going where it should, I guess (in part) because I re-installed. However, some messages were still frozen, and I got an error message saying something about not being able to find a procmail pipe. I commented out the procmail references in exim.conf, and that seems to have solved it. Interestingly, there were no error messages previously about procmail, so I'm still of the opinion (though I stand to be corrected) that the original problem was that exim was looking for the wrong user.
Thanks again for the help. Cheers Cam * Cam Ellison ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > * Karsten M.
