No, but you could teach exim to also listen and relay mail incoming from 127.0.0.1:25, just as if it were incoming from /usr/sbin/sendmail. Note that ssmtp also works by relaying mail onwards via SMTP. Since you're in a chroot, you'll _need_ to use some kind of network socket to get mail out of the chroot -- having your MTA listen locally on 25 and use ssmtp is the staightforward way to do so. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl
