Strangely I get this:

scgf:~$ telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
554 SMTP service not available
Connection closed by foreign host

Yet as I said before, if I connect to Demon, who send mail via smtp, I
receive all my mail and it is sorted into folder according to the Exim
rules in .forward. It just won't work with procmail.

I would be very grateful if you could suggest what I could do next!

Many thanks for your help.
