My (also totally unsubstantiated) guess would be that "the majority of installations" are single-user or small-company users of Debian boxes. I think we just don't know. > is beneficial?
It may not always be beneficial, though the difference may be small and one is splitting hairs to argue about it. (e.g. a company with 100 emails a day and such like). Changing the default in the code would suddently hit a lot of existing installations, who might not know what is going on, even though it is a self-sorting-out change. It's the kind of change which, if it is to be made at all, should only be part of a major upgrade (something like the Exim 3->Exim 4 upgrade) IMHO. -- Philip Hazel University of Cambridge Computing Service Get the Exim 4 book: http://www.uit.co.uk/exim-book -- ## 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/
