When I first started using Exim I had almost no experience of mailservers, and had to learn it all from scratch. I found the online documentation totally bewildering and quickly became very frustrated. I understood the concepts, but when it came to trying to write a short ACL stanza to do what I wanted, it took about two weeks of trial and error, searching the docs and archives, before I managed to get the syntax right. Now it all seems very straightforward, but I can still remember those early days of total frustration, and I think a list for new users would be a Good Thing (TM). - Mark -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
