Hi,
I ran eximconfig and created a new /etc/exim/exim.conf file. With this things are
working, in that mail is not handled twice by exim, and there is no long delay
before I get my email. A few weeks ago I did a dist-upgade to testing, and now
think that I should have run eximconfig then. I'm s
Hi,
I looked carefully and noticed that I have both a /etc/exim.conf~ and a
/etc/exim/exim.conf. In the first file (conf~) I had the lines:
qualify_domain = otte
local_domains = localhost:otte
which probably says my localhost is otte, instead of otte.ucsc.edu. It
was not like this in /etc/exim/ex
Hi Ric,
fetchmail runs on host "otte" and delivers mail to "ric@otte" on otte
via esmtp.
exim gets the mail, and tries to deliver to ric@otte. Unfortunately,
your exim setup does not recognize otte as a local domain. It forwards
this to your smarthost, smtp.ucsc.edu.
My guess is that smtp.ucsc

Thanks for the suggestion about locks on procmailrc. I changed them.
But I don't think the slowness problem is due to too many messages in
exim's queue; I check my mail frequently, and usually get less than 5
messages at a time. But I'll reread the exim man page. Thanks,
Ric
