RE: Telnet 25 connection refused
Try commenting out the smtp line in /etc/inetd.conf and then running exim as
a daemon (#/etc/init.d/exim start) and see if you get error messages?

Thanks for the reply.
I have infact installed exim and have configured /etc/exim.conf, though
whether it's configured properly is another matter.
Is it possible that something in the exim.conf is incorrectly configured
or that whatever program is responsible for strating exim is not being
loaded.
Thanx again.
