Heheh,
Ok, let's ask this again, assuming this time that I've already checked
all the obvious places. ;)
cockatrice:/etc$ cat services | grep smtp
smtp 25/tcp mail # Sendmail
cockatrice:/etc$ cat inetd.conf | grep smtp
smtp stream tcp nowait mail /usr/sbin/exim exim -bs
It's probably something simple - I've been a sysadmin for a while, but
I've never run into this one. /var/spool/exim/input is happily
receiving mail, but it's not getting delivered to my local mailboxes.
I've just added "mail" as an entry to the hosts table - here it is:
cockatrice:/etc# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
207.228.74.29 roc
207.228.74.30 cockatrice cockatrice.riotnrrd.com mail
For reference, Debian Slink on a PC, whatever version of Exim is
current in there.
Cheers,
- Drew.
