Hi Marcos,

The last time I had a problem like this, I discovered that the
configuration should be like this:

tns name        = main
service name    = main
user            = USERNAME
password        = PASSWORD



So you have to set:

hide oracle_servers = main/main/USERNAME/PASSWORD

So you saw the post ;)

Does this conform to what I have put above?

I love Oracle-ism ;) Inasmuch as I know nothing about it.

Well, the other thing that I discovered you had to do was to initialize
the oracle ENV when starting Exim. So in your init.d/exim, you need
something like:


#!/bin/sh

. /$ORACLE_HOME/.profile

exim_startup_args_here


HTH

        cheers
