Thank you for your support. I believe that the fact that Exim has a GPL licence was an important factor when Debian chose it. > I wonder how popular Exim would be without Debian? Its use was growing slowly but surely among experienced sysadmins, until the "Debian explosion" changed the nature of the user community rather suddenly. Debian's choice caused Exim to spread more widely rather quickly, but also caused a demand for documentation and other information that was aimed at the less experienced user. In other words, from my point of view, it was both a good and a bad thing. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cambridge, England. Phone: +44 1223 334714.
