No. in fact, I can't ping or telnet either. Same with
smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.net. Oddly, a couple of days ago I telnetted into
the smtp addy to confirm authentication mode.
Here is from Exim's mainlog:
koko:/var/log/exim# tail mainlog

So, koko (the Linux box) is able to connect on the smtp side. Also,
etta, the Winbox, from which I'm trying to emigrate, is able to access
both pop and smtp. But, now (I just checked) I can't telnet from this
box either.
Can you suggest where to find a clue? Resolv.conf? Hosts?
