Darn! ... I knew that it would be something like this. On Saturday libc6 was updated and it tried to restart inetd and probably failed (or something similar). Exim didn't start on port 25. Stoping and then again starting inetd (not /etc/init.d/inetd restart) did the trick. Thank you! Martin -- This is Linux Country. In a quiet night, you can hear Windows reboot.
