One possibility is that the smtp entry in /etc/inetd.conf is not enabled (ISTR, that a certain version of the smail package didn't properly enable this in its postinst script). Running (as root): `update-inetd --enable smtp' (no quotes) should fix that (or else it'll punt safely). Also, if one wants smail to run standalone, one can edit /etc/init.d/smail and comment out the "exit 0" line near the top (IIRC, this may be necessary for it to work at all with fetchmail. It will certainly make fetchmail perform a bit better even if not required.). -- Joel "Espy" Klecker Debian GNU/Linux Developer <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://espy.org/> <ftp://ftp.espy.org/pub> God shows his contempt for wealth by the kind of person He selects to receive it. -- Austin O'Malley (1858-1952) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
