One other thing, if you told the setup that you wanted local delivery only it may not have modified /etc/inetd.conf properly. Check to make sure you have a line in /etc/inted.conf like: smtp stream tcp nowait mail /usr/sbin/exim exim -bs and a line in /etc/services like: smtp 25/tcp mail If you have to change either of these you'll need to restart inetd via killall -HUP inetd. Of course you can test that all of the above is true, before looking at the aforementioned files, by simply telnetting to port 25 of localhost and seeing if you can connect, eg., telnet localhost 25 You should get a line from Exim identifying itself.
