Have a look at RETRY CONFIGURATION in /etc/exim/exim.conf. I think you can make things work like you want there. However maybe it's a little bit dangerous to have homepc not give up on a message. Will you ever notice a problem with your email configuration if homepc blindly keeps polling your smart host? Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
