Take a look in the contents of /var/log/exim/mainlog. Something is stopping the command line sendmail interface from working, and you should be able to see any errors produced there. Running the following command might give you some error output: $ /usr/sbin/sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Test mail du01 This is a test mail. . [ie, run "/usr/sbin/sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED]" and then type in everything up to the '.'. You should substitute your e-mail address for mine in the above. > 2.)

Even if it did help it's probably a bad idea: sendmail is a complex piece of software and unless you know what you're doing or have fairly specialised requirements. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
