You only removed it and reinstalled it. Because all the stuff under /etc/exim4 is a conffile, and "I deleted it" is a valid state for a conffile which dpkg won't touch, you need to PURGE it (so dpkg will remove and disown the conffiles) before you reinstall it. </blockquote></div> When I dpkg -P exim4 I am told it is not installed. When I install it, I look into /etc/exim4/conf.d/acl and all the other directories and I find nothing at all of any configuration file. What I would like to do is obtain a copy of the unsplit exim4 config file and use that to populate the /etc/exim4 directory. That, and know what the hell happened! All the best Brian
