It may well be simpler just to use it... Run eximconfig and answer some really simple questions, and that's about it. I found it so easy to do the basic setup that I can't remember much about doing it. The only 'wrinkle' for a basic setup is to add this line to the rewrite section of /etc/exim.conf to make the sender of all mail be the email address your ISP has given you instead of your local name and box name: *@yourmachinename [EMAIL PROTECTED] Frfs example on my system, which is called pigeon: *@pigeon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Frfs Pigeon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
