Um, sounds quite broken, but works from here: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ telnet mail.waterfront.co.za smtp Trying 196.41.17.237... Connected to mail.waterfront.co.za.

The latter may send things that confuses some smtp servers. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
