Well, personally, I favor exim so far. Mailman integration, delivery to /home/$USER/Maildir and now TLS and SMTP-Auth makes it pretty nice. Although I wonder about plans on exim4 in official Debian. Any news? Also, I am missing pam_exim in debian, as it allows to run exim as non-root and still use PAM for authentication. But exim also has a weird thing: I wanted to make my ssl key only readable to root.cert and having exim's user 'mail' in group cert. However that does not work. Strange, isn't it? The .key and the .crt file needs to be in group mail to let exim access it. Too bad :-/ Any ideas? HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
