Nah. He would be able to read docs then. >Actually I've got a question for you, do you know why Debian picked on >Exim as the default MTA? Actually, the migration from smail to exim (1.x back then) was well before I joined Debian as a developer. What I have heard from the historians, was that exim is configured quite similiar to smail and was thus the logical choice. If Debian had to take this decision again now, I strongly suspect that the new default MTA would be postfix. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
