yes. why don't you use lsof or netstat -a to find out which process is binding the smtp port. i bet you there is still an exim process around even though you deleted the package. also, check /etc/inetd.conf again and *restart* inetd! send me the output of netstat -a | grep LISTEN and lsof | grep smtp and i'll have a look. i use postfix and i've tried all the others (sendmail,qmail,zmailer,exim) and postfix beats them all! martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "driving with a destination is like having sex to have children" -- backwater wayne miller
