Exim and fetchmail are two seperate programs, so they are independent from each other. Try running fetchmail from your bash prompt by hand with the -v option to see what happens. Even with a configuration file, you must make sure that fetchmail is ran. You can not just create the .fetchmailrc file and wait for the mail to come in. You need to give the command: fetchmail once. For exim, check your logfile as root. It is in /var/log/exim4/mainlog Regards, Willem On Thu, 29 Nov 2007, Daniel Dalton wrote: > Hi, > > I can't get exim4 to work.
