Re: exim frozen messages, can't send/recieve

-well that helped, for some reason my domain got replaced by the
default(?) ** root@debain: unroutable mail domain. I can edit
/etc/exim.conf for that.

-yeah, sorry that just a typo /var/run/exim has no .pid file
| if i 'nmap' my box it lists smtp on port 25 as listening which is
normal

it
| complains that it can't 'socket bind() to port 25 for address, Address
| already in use'.
To find out what is bound to port 25 :
# netstat -anp | grep 25
-tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
198/inetd
-mUs
