So there is the ALL: PARANOID directive in hosts.deny. Exim runs from inetd.conf with this line: #:MAIL: Mail, news and uucp services. smtp stream tcp nowait mail /usr/sbin/exim exim -bs netstat -atp |grep smtp shows (as root): tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 19551/inetd Do these hosts you are connecting from have both forward and reverse DNS records? This would block them with a line in /var/log/daemon about refused connections. If there are no such logs then @home may just disallow port 25 incoming. --mike
