Hmph. I'm stumped.


running sendmail -bd -q30m just gets me back to a prompt, and nothign very useful
in the logs.

WHat am I missing?

2005-06-06 14:58:54 IPv6 socket creation failed: Protocol not supported
2005-06-06 14:58:54 Failed to create IPv6 socket for wildcard listening (Protocol not supported): will use IPv4

This is normal, ipv6 isn't configured at all.

c [14:59] local/etc/exim # sendmail
Exim is a Mail Transfer Agent. It is normally called by Mail User Agents,
not directly from a shell command line. Options and/or arguments control
what it does when called. For a list of options, see the Exim documentation.
