*snip* You said: "not possible to use fetchmail to get my mails from the server" Exim is an MTA. It 'listens' for traffic submitted to it from other MTA's acting as submission critters on port 25. Optionally (BCP) it also listens on port 587 for TLS authenticated login, then submission FROM an MUA of its authorized user community. FROM. Never TO. Any such MUA may be doing message retrieval at the same time - but not from Exim. In any case, 'Fetchmail' is not even a (conventional) MUA. It is (ordinarily) a batch-processing critter designed to make better use of intermittent/infrequent or just-plain *costly* connections. Historically, that meant dial-up, and often long-distance. From the Fetchmail site FAQ: "...It can collect mail using any variant of POP or IMAP ..." Ergo, it should be pointed anywhere EXCEPT port 25. E.G. - it can be run from an on-box terminal shell ELSE should attach to one of the (several) POP or IMAP ports. Which such port depends on what ports and protocols the POP and/or IMAP daemon on your server (if any) is configured to support. *Nothing to do with Exim* - or any other MTA. So far. Now, if you have problems *resending* the mail Fetchmail collects, that is another matter. But you haven't said that.
