just to make sure i understand -- that article shows how to have exim be a relay for lan traffic, and then beam the email onward to the isp which relays it further up the chain, right? which means the thrust of the article is how to get exim to connect to the isp with encryption (ssl/tls) for its outbound relay transmission, right? as opposed to, having incoming smtp connections (the clients who are wanting to initiate the relaying for outbound messages) be encrypted via tls/ssl -- this is NOT what the article covers, right? of course, the latter is what i'd like to have... :( i have the exim book, but it's a big square peg and my brain has only these tiny round holes... in fact, page 369 says that with just tls_advertise_hosts, tls_certificate and tls_privatekey properly set, "exim will work as a server". there's probably a teeny asterisk there with a footnote that reads "except in your case, you cretin." where's the clue club on getting exim-tls to work as an smtp server for windo~1 eudora or outhouse excess? -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.0-bunk-1; Linux server 2.4.20-k6 #1 Mon Jan 13 23:49:14 EST 2003 i586 unknown DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #106 from Joost Kooij <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Wondering HOW TO GET CPAN MODULES FOR PERL THAT ARE DEBIAN-FRIENDLY? Many perl modules are already Debianized: apt-get install lib<MODULE>-perl apt-get install libdbi-perl libmd5-perl libmime-base64-perl To recover from using CPAN installs directly, reinstall all the perl debs on your system. If you use the --reinstall option to apt-get, it is almost easy, even. To create Debian-friendly *.deb packages from Perl modules, apt-get install dh-perl-make and then you can build your own.
