The way I understand the docs, exim should be quite able to do the very common case of a site with a permanent net connection feeding lots of UUCP leaf sites. True, if you need map handling, then you'll probably be better off with a different MTA (or maybe you can even hack that one into exim - I don't know if anybody has tried this). Me, I won't weep a single tear for bang paths and map handling. MfG Kai -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
