Edit /etc/inetd.conf and comment out the "smtp" line. /etc/init.d/inetd reload reloads the inetd conf. By default, exim uses inetd to accept incoming mail. Since you probably upgraded from exim, this is likely your problem. Why doesn't removing exim comment out this smtp line, anyway? -- Nathan Norman - Staff Engineer | A good plan today is better Micromuse Ltd. | than a perfect plan tomorrow. mailto:nnorman@micromuse.com | -- Patton
