I am using the combination Exim / fetchmail / procmail / mutt / vim here and am absolutely happy with that. Previously to using this setup, I ran sendmail (suse at the time) and I wasn't able to config' it myself; had to use sendmail.cf-generating tools for that, so I say Exim is easy and nice to configure. When installing Exim a script gets placed into /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/. That script sends all pending mails when PPP is up, which is neat. Also nice is the ability to get statistics on a daily basis. Look at /etc/cron.daily/exim for that. (You simply need to uncomment a few lines) Good luck -- S. Burgener Powered by Debian GNU/Linux 2.2
