To check this I think someone proposed to you earlier on in this
thread
to check whether you could connect to exim locally with this:

  $ telnet localhost smtp

which should give output like:

  Trying 127.0.0.1...
  Connected to localhost.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  220 animus.fel.iae.nl ESMTP Exim 3.12 #1 Sat, 16 Dec 2000 14:03:04
+0100

to get out of this enter

  quit

please verify with the above that your exim is running and accessible
via
its standard port.

You are right, here is what I get:

tony@debian:~$ telnet localhost smtp
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
tony@debian:~$

So, how do I fix this one? What's wrong?
Thanks, Carel.
Tony.
