Alternatively, if you don't have a reliable internet connection on start-up you can do "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config" and select "yes" for the "Use Minimal DNS" question at the very end. This will stop it hanging on start-up, if the internet connection is down. Hope this helps. -- George Borisov DXSolutions Ltd
