Let me guess: You're running Exim 3.32, compiled with IPv6 support (which is the Debian default), on a system that doesn't have support for IPv6. It's a known issue with Exim 3.32; expect a 3.33 to be released Real Soon Now (tm) that doesn't have that problem. In the meantime, there are 3 ways to get around this problem: 1) setup your computer for IPv6 2) downgrade to Exim 3.31 3) Compile Exim 3.32 without IPv6 support Phil
