Hi, George. Unfortunately that makes no difference. There was already
sendmail: all in /etc/hosts/allow. I added exim: ALL, did the Kill -HUP
`pidof inetd` and tried 'telnet localhost 25'. Got the same message as
before.

Looking in my log files I notice:

/var/log/exim/mainlog:

1999-08-06 09:02:02 connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] (gsmh) refused
1999-08-06 09:03:20 connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] (gsmh) refused

And in /var/log/exim/rejectlog:

1999-08-06 09:02:02 connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] (gsmh) refused
-----------------------------------------------------
1999-08-06 09:03:20 connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] (gsmh) refused
-----------------------------------------------------

There is nothing at all in paniclog.

Thanks again for your help.
