It seems to be there:
[root@learningpartnership exim]# ps -ef|grep sendmail
root 21869 1 0 14:34 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd
-q1h
root 22778 21454 0 15:03 pts/0 00:00:00 grep sendmail
I had tried this previously (but that didn't work):
[root@learningpartnership exim]# ps -aux|grep sendmail
root 22780 0.0 0.4 1700 592 pts/0 S 15:03 0:00 grep
sendmail

/usr/sbin/sendmail -> /usr/local/exim/bin/exim
Seems right to me..

That killed it as it didn't appear when I did this
ps -ef|grep sendmail

The log files do not seem to be up to date.. /var/log/exim/mainlog (and
others) are at least two days old)..
Hmm.. It looks liek that was commented out the last time the
Local/Makefile was updated...

But I can send mail...

That could be fun Derrick! Although I'd hate to see what the Minister
for Defense would do if he really didn't like the job and was having a
very bad day!
