I recently lost my hard drive, and after restoring, fetchmail does not work. I get the smtp failed for localhost message, and discovered that exim is not running (I can't telnet to localhost 25). Things work fine if I start exim manually (/usr/sbin/exim -bd), or if I do "/etc/init.d/inetd restart" or if I do "/usr/sbin/inetd". So it looks to me as if inetd is not being run at startup. The relevant line in my /etc/inetd.conf is: smtp stream tcp nowait mail /usr/sbin/exim exim -bs Does anyone have any idea why inetd would not be run at startup? Thanks very much,
