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

I've tried to explicitly set local_interfaces to 127.0.0.1 :
192.168.0.101 but no such luck.
Any clues?
Thanks.
Morten
