My mail doesn't work at all :((((((((((((((( (fwd)



Dear all,

	No reply, so some more info:

when trying /etc/init.d/exim start|stop|reload or anything, I get no
message like starting MTA.... I suspect this may be connected with my
problem. How can I get it working properly, please?

Matthew

Subject: My mail doesn't work at all :(((((((((((((((

Dear all,

	Mail is just not working on pick.sel :(

my original setup tried to be clever, and then I tried a simpler one,
neither of which worked (indented lines in [] are the simpler setup).

When I try to send messages to a user on pick, I get an unroutable mail
domain error, and when trying to send from pick, I get either:

550 rejected: cannot route to sender <mcv21@pick.sel.cam.ac.uk>

or just

connection timed out:
retry timeout exceeded 

in the latter case, I get warnings that the messaage has spend hours on
the queue on pick.sel.cam.ac.uk

I'm probably just missing an obvious package, but would appreciate a
little help finding the trees in amongst the wood...

Matthew
