Hi, George. Unfortunately that makes no difference. There was already sendmail: all in /etc/hosts/allow. I added exim: ALL, did the Kill -HUP `pidof inetd` and tried 'telnet localhost 25'. Got the same message as before. Looking in my log files I notice: /var/log/exim/mainlog: 1999-08-06 09:02:02 connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] (gsmh) refused 1999-08-06 09:03:20 connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] (gsmh) refused And in /var/log/exim/rejectlog: 1999-08-06 09:02:02 connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] (gsmh) refused ----------------------------------------------------- 1999-08-06 09:03:20 connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] (gsmh) refused ----------------------------------------------------- There is nothing at all in paniclog. Thanks again for your help. -- Phillip Deackes Debian Linux (Potato)
