Gordon,
After days i was able to establish the problem to be a firewall issue,
there was an access list blocking telnet from my lan to the server lan,
finally i was able to get our networking guys open port 25. but i just
realize this problem:
1NbymG-0003d0-9m malware acl condition: clamd: ClamAV returned
/var/spool/exim4/scan/1NbymG-0003d0-9m: lstat() failed: Permission denied.
ERROR
i have not checked the permissions yet but was just wondering if you know
what might be the course.
Thanks
