I would have guessed that the Connection failed is caused by exim not listening to the smtp port. Does telnet localhost smtp give you the greeting? What does you .fetchmailrc look like? Do you have the is s2193893 here part in there? SZ strange thing is I don't even know where is this shao come from! See the first line of the fetchmail message?
HELP! mail does not work (exim+fetchmail)
Hi, After a long time, I finally decide to replace smail with exim. I have sucessfully set it up on one machine. But the other one stops working... After installing exim, my fetchmail does not work at more.. The error message is: fetchmail: 4 messages for shao at pop3.cia.com.au (7683 octets). fetchmail: POP3 RETR 1 fetchmail: POP3 +OK fetchmail: reading message 1 of 4 (1200 octets) fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed: Connection refused fetchmail: POP3 QUIT^M from exim is: 1999-05-12 21:18:55 10hX2N-7H-00 Completed 1999-05-12 21:23:00 Start queue run: pid=473 1999-05-12 21:23:00 10hWvm-6W-00 Message is frozen 1999-05-12 21:23:00 10hWio-5i-00 ** [EMAIL PROTECTED]: unknown local-part shao in domain virge 1999-05-12 21:23:00 10hX6K-7g-00 = R=10hWio-5i-00 U=mail P=local S=1684 1999-05-12 21:23:00 10hWio-5i-00 Error message sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1999-05-12 21:23:00 10hWio-5i-00 Completed 1999-05-12 21:23:00 End queue run: pid=473 strange thing is I don't even know where is this shao come from! The only user one that machine is s2193893. My exim.conf looks as follows: qualify_domain = cse.unsw.edu.au local_domains = virge : localhost and the rest seems fine. Thanks.
