Thanks to everyone and good morning. It's freezing here in London!

Yes, I uninstalled the rpms using rpm -e --nodeps fam.2.6.8.rpm

This is the same x64 box being used earlier, yes.

I took the same initialisation steps to start the processes, services as instructed earlier in the thread.

Same error in the mail logs, yes. Tested by trying to deliver emails to the mail box. I have Thunderbird set to check mails every 1 minute, and each time this check is run by Thunderbird, the error appears in the log.

I can however read emails already in the Maildirs fine. These emails were copied over from my old server.

Setting up a new account didn't work either.

Exim is delivering mails. I have a PHP test script, and my cron is sending notification emails to my Gmail account.

I get this output running that command:

file /etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam is not owned by any package

I downloaded 2.7.0 from another website - had to do some digging though before I finally found a link that didn't link back to SGI's website!

Downloaded these two files:

fam-2.7.0.tar.gz fam-2.7.0-dnotify-1.patch

I usally build rpms from source by doing this:

rpmbuild -ta source_dir

But doing that on the 2.7.0 folder gives me these errors:

error: Name field must be present in package: (main package) error: Version field must be present in package: (main package) error: Release field must be present in package: (main package) error: Summary field must be present in package: (main package) error: Group field must be present in package: (main package) error: License field must be present in package: (main package)

I suspect I am missing the spec file you mentioned earlier ...
