I re-installed exim (I think for the last time now). I can see the queue.
All the messages are reported to be frozen. Eximon does show some
messages.

I did that and at least eximon showed something, but nothing that made me
more wise about what is going on.
Thank you for all your trouble. Earlier in this list I queried the
correctness of somebody's mentioning of an "upgrade" to smail. I had a lot
of responses and some of the responses convinced me to try once again.
I have now, over the last weeks removed smail, installed exim , removed
exim , reinstalled smail about 6 times. I have had no success so far.
Maybe I will try once (only once ) again when I have Debian 2.0. I do not
have time to waste like this. I want to convince my friends to use Linux.
I will keep them away from programs like exim until it can be installed to
work the first time.
Regards.
Johann
