Hi I have installed exim-daemon-light and rest of the exim debs on sarge. The basic purpose of this is to get the mails from pop account of isp to my desktop. I ran #dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config Now how to run exim to download mails from isp.com ? Though this can be done by typical fetchmail I want use exim for more flexibility. The above command generated the update-exim4.conf.conf dc_eximconfig_configtype=''smarthost'' dc_other_hostnames=''isp.com'' dc_local_interfaces=''172.16.2.2,'' dc_readhost=''isp.com'' dc_relay_domains='''' dc_minimaldns=''true'' dc_relay_nets='''' dc_smarthost=''mail.isp.com'' CFILEMODE=''644'' dc_use_split_config=''false'' dc_hide_mailname=''true'' dc_mailname_in_oh=''true'' Thanks Raj __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

When I run dpkg-reconfigure exim4-configure, there is an option "mail sent by smarthost; received via SMTP or fetchmail". Is it the job of MUA (mutt in my case) to ask exim to get the mails from pop to a local file?

Please, fix your quoting. Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don''t trust Computers.
