in thread How does one override 550 relays for Mail::Sendmail?

I didn't have a mail/ in my /etc/ so I grepped for "relay" and found exim.conf which seems to contain the appropriate mail settings. Do I need to restart Inetd somehow so that these changes (ie. allowing localhost relays) can take effect? Thanks very much for your help. TTFN & Shalom.

    Oh, so you're not using sendmail but exim... I don't know anything about exim, maybe it's started from inetd, maybe from some rc startup file. Do a ps -ax | grep exim to find out if it's already running, or look into /etc/inetd.conf for exim.

    HTH.

      I just checked /usr/sbin and it appears that the executable sendmail there is a link to exim but I was under the impression that Mail::Sendmail is completely distinct from the sendmail executable and that it has it's own implementation etc. I didn't see exim in the ps but it is in the smtp section of inetd.conf ... so how would I go about reloading exim's config file then? Thanks again.
