The other day I decided to play with postfix; I ran "apt-get install postfix" and exim ended up being removed. After I had played with postfix for a while, I ran "apt-get install exim" and my system was returned to its former state. Exim worked just as it had before I installed postfix. Of course, YMMV. -- David Raeker-Jordan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG key: 1024D/CD956608 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
