Exim on all interfaces

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi. I have a default installation of Exim with only a few changed 
settings. It appears to only bind to the loopback interface. I have not 
set any local_interfaces values, as the default behaviour is to bind on 
all interfaces. But alas, exim does not respond on its IP address:

[root@obiwan ~]# /etc/init.d/exim restart
Shutting down exim:                                        [  OK  ]
Starting exim:                                             [  OK  ]

I've tried to explicitly set local_interfaces to 127.0.0.1 : 
192.168.0.101 but no such luck.

Any clues?

Thanks.
