Using and being a smart host are two quite distinct things. I suggest making your mind up. >but I can only send mail from my mail server.

No. I am not aware of any bugs that might overwrite local changes without asking before. If a program is supposed to overwrite local changes, this is mentioned in the man page. If you happen to find such a bug, please report it through the Debian BTS. Same goes if you're missing a man page that should be there. You might want to use a backported exim4 from backports.org, documentation has greatly improved since sarge's release. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
