Thanks Derrik for the response.
There was a smtp_psa under the xinetd.d and I disabled it.
Now, I can start the exim fine. When I start the exim, I get one process as
defunct. Is it normal, if not how do I fix it?
ps -auxw | grep exim
mail 13526 0.0 0.1 3440 1128 ? S 11:09
0:00 /var/exim/bin/exim -bd -q1h
root 13527 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 11:09 0:00 [exim
<defunct>]
Also,
When I test the exim, I get the following error.
% telnet localhost smtp
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 localhost ESMTP Exim 4.30 Fri, 23 Jan 2004 11:10:08 -0800
mail from: princedada@???
250 OK
rcpt to: prince@???
550 unknown user
I used the exim.config from
http://www.tty1.net/stuff/exim4.conf-vdomains and
created the tables from
http://www.tty1.net/stuff/exim4.create.sql.
Note: I have the "passwd" table created as "users" and the column "email"
is
called "id".
mysql> describe users ;

mysql> select * from domains ;

Where does exim verify that the user is defined or not? I have the user
defined in the "users" table. then, why am I getting "550 unknown user"?
Thanks,
Prince.
