This regretfully is a similar setup on a number of ISPs in an attempt to
control spammers. You might try to set up Exim to deliver everything to
your ISP's SMTP server. Have a look in the book for route_list

Exim is a MTA (mail transfer agent) it transfers mail rather than act as a
pop or IMAP server. What you do not have running is a pop3 server or IMAP
server. On Red Hat 7.3 edit /etc/xinetd.d/ipop3 and change disable = yes to
disable = no You might also want to play with IMAP and secure IMAP. These
are as easy as changing no to yes in IMAP and imaps. The restart the
Internet Daemon (service xinetd restart)

While I know that this comes up in the list quite regularly I thought it
would not hurt to have it once more in the archives ;-)

Kind regards
