If you are using the 'one big conf file' exim4.conf.template, check if you have TLS enabled. Even tho the docs tell how to enable it, I found that it was enabled by default. As my ISP does not use TLS, I had to comment out all the TLS lines before I could send mail when I installed exim4. :-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-) Wayne -- Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later. _______________________________________________________ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
