Hey Jeff & all,

Check this out:

[root at secure exim]# rpm -q exim
package exim is not installed
[root at secure exim]# ps waux | grep exim
mail     17462  0.0  0.0   7764  1948 ?        Ss 
   Jul02   0:00 /usr/sbin/exim -bd -q15m -oP 
/var/run/exim.pid
root      6128  0.0  0.0   3756   716 pts/1    S+ 
   09:05   0:00 grep exim
[root at secure exim]#

I either have a partial install or no install at all?

I think I need to clean off any exim stuff that is 
there and do a new install. I just got access to 
this server and don't really know what is there 
and what is not.

What do you think?
