Of couse.... if you are using lenny or etch, exim4 is : Description: metapackage to ease Exim MTA (v4) installation Exim (v4) is a mail transport agent. exim4 is the metapackage depending on the essential components for a basic exim4 installation. This means you can remove it :-) (Suggestion was right one for sarge, I guess.) To kill REAL exim4, kill one of these on your system: exim4-daemon-light exim4-daemon-heavy exim4-daemon-custom This explains why. > >> Oddly enough running grep exim * on /var/log only returns matches in > >> the popularity contest, but not in dmesg. > > Osamu Aoki: > > I do not get what you are at? > > I assumed dmesg would have some reference to exim, hence the grep. > dmesg |grep xim returned nil as well. dmesg is kernel activity... so no wonder. > > Your problem was DNS look up.

I don't wanna kill it, just fire it ;) Are you conected via wifi?
