Thanks for the pointers, however this seems to pass the test: c:\>telnet <mymail> 25 220 <mymail> ESMTP Exim 3.35 #1 Mon, 03 Mar 2003 11:00:43 +1100 EHLO <mymail> 250-<mymail> Hello <client> [10.0.0.4] 250-SIZE 250-PIPELINING 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250 HELP So now I'm totally stumped. I restart inetd after each config change (not necessary really, because exim reads it's config each time it is spawned by inetd). Is this a problem? Should I run exim in daemon mode, rather than be called from inetd?? I notice you are running Exim 4.11, but mine is the earlier version as shipped with Debian 3.0. Still trying :) Thanks for your help so far. --James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
