I had the same problem, it's mostly because your addresses are not good (i.e. the server don't like to receive a From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) You can change it in exim.conf in the last lines of the file (have also a look to the /usr/doc/exim/spec.txt.gz file (don't print it; its about 256 pages!)) > I would like to use any MUA (mutt, tkmail, tkrat, StarOffice, > pine, ...) sending e-mail to localhost via smtp and when connecting to my > ISP, exim should run its queue.

No, just one .fetchmailrc in each user /home/userx directory (no way to make a link on a single file, fetchmail is very strict about the owner and group of its files).
