Email does not seem to work on my box. Cannot send or receive but service monitor says all processes are running. I can pop3 also but nothing is there. Where are the log files located to tell me whats going on? Is there anyway to look at them or download them through the GUI?

Has it ever worked?

Try this to see if the daemons are running:

$ service exim status

You should see something like this:
Code: 
[jlasman@da1 jlasman]$ service exim status
exim (pid 20848 20731 20658 20100 20098 19692 9776) is running...
[jlasman@da1 jlasman]$
If all looks well, then try this:

$ telnet localhost 25

You should see something like this:
[jlasman@da1 jlasman]$ telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

Then type "quit" and press the enter key to get out of the test session.

If that works, then your firewall is most likely blocking your smtp port.

Your exim logs should be in the /var/log/exim directory.

Have tried all that. Exim is running, shut firewall off.

Whats this mean?

I think I fixed this. Had to create these 2 files.

/etc/virtual/use_rbl_domains
/etc/virtual/whitelist_from

Is this a bug?

It's not a bug; it's a feature :rolleyes: .

These files are required by my SpamBlocker version of exim.conf.

If you installed SpamBlocker, then yes, you should have created it (my SpamBlocker file is self-documenting if you read the comments); if no, then you've got the latest version of exim as offered by DA...

Please answer John so we'll know if it's a bug in the new exim version.

Thanks.
