My system is Ubuntu 5.10, which is based on Debian. I have exim4 installed. I really can't remember doing any configuration, maybe a question or two asked by the installer script in the deb. If you installed exim4, then it should be running after you boot. You can check with the following command: ps ax | grep exim There should be a startup file: /etc/rc5.d/S20exim4 which causes exim4 to automatically start. Maybe try the following command: dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config I can't comment much on out-going mail as that isn't working on my system, due to my University's policy. I can use fetchmail to retrieve it, but need to ssh into the university computer to send it, or use their clunky web-mail system.
