Hello,

Could someone please help me install Exim on my red hat linux 7.1 server? I have installed the Exim rpm, but cannot check mail on it. What am I doing wrong? My domains MX records are pointing the server. Is there something else I need to setup?

Thank you.

check your exim.conf

and check if the exim daemon is started or not?

Commands to do in SU prompt:

./etc/rc.d/init.d/exim start

Hello,
Yes, the exim deamon is running. Do I need to install any other special programs to use pop?

Thank you.

Yes you do, exim is an SMTP server. For pop you have to install another deamon. I recommed "qpopper".

But mayby some others know better ones.
Don't forget to add a line to your inetd.conf
So that you can start using exim.
