I just took the plunge and installed exim on our main mail server. The Debian configuration scripts got our important domains up and running immediately (local delivery) and the auto-freeze on others meant I could get the others running in no time.
I've read the entire manual (just flipping through irrelevant parts). This is truely excellent; I never found a manual like this for smail. Using the manual alone, I have virtual domains, local suffixes, mail relaying to firewalled hosts, and very flexible filtering running. Impressive stuff. I'm converted. My only question: can I have my filter deliver messages into /var/spool/mail/hamish? I got a lockfile error whenever it tries to deliver them; I had to make a folder in my home directory for my new mail. Which isn't the end of the world, but it'd be nice to use the main mail file. Now I can finally have decent debian mail filtering. My previous configuration kinda worked .... this one really does. thanks, Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3TYD [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
