>Is there any compelling reason to switch from smail to exim? How about this: Ease of configuration with Exim, and Procmail (with it's cryptic recipes) becomes obsolute, because Exim has already very powerful filtering capabilities in kind of a "basic" language. There's also an Exim-monitor (for X) Example for filtering with exim: # take care of mailing list debian-user if $header_X-Mailing-List contains debian-user@lists.debian.org then save $home/mail/debian-user finish endif # Save all non-urgent messages by weekday: if $header_subject: does not contain "urgent" AND $tod_full matches "^(...)," then save $home/mail/$1 endif Convinced? :-) Kind regards Frederick -- Linux *is* user-friendly. It's just a little picky about it's friends.
