To start exim as a daemon use: exim -bd Although, if you've set up exim to run as a daemon, it should be started automatically on boot; you shouldn't need to start it by hand. Use ps ax to see if an exim daemon is already running. It's not always necessary to run exim as a daemon: it can be "run from inetd", ie, whenever exim is needed inetd wakes it up. If you have a line like smtp stream tcp nowait.150 mail /usr/sbin/exim exim -bs in /etc/inetd.conf, and inetd is running (which it should be...), then exim will be started automatically when it is needed, and shut down again when it is not. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
