Liam, Unfortunately I discarded the earlier messages, so I don't know what your error is. Do you have a fixed IP or do you have something like the Mpowered service where you're behind sympatico's NAT server?
Can you use exim to send mail from the console? Is sympatcio allowing this? You may have to configure exim to use sympatico's SMTP server. (It's been so long since I've done that I forget how, and it was a real trial and error approach.) This probably isn't much help - Miles Thompson PS You may want to post this on the nslug.ca list; some mail guru's read it. /mt At 01:58 PM 7/4/2002 -0400, Liam Gibbs wrote: >Chris Hewitt wrote: > > I was going to ask you whether a normal user on your computer could send > > mail (OK, root counts).
