Hi I think this could be caused by the recent configuration file format change. When I upgraded exim, it commented out the exim line in inetd.conf and told me to check the configuration before re-enabling it. -- Rob Murray

Hi Drew; Did you tell dpkg during the installation to run it as a deamon? inetd _should_ launch exim as the virtual package for mail otherwise. It sounds as though your problem was indeed different than the one that I experienced. I have not tried to use exim on any potato machine except as a da
