Hehe, sorry i had just assumed that my dapper install would have installed exim4 by default. Anyways it's resolved and working quite well thanks to everyones help! - i do have one more question however: I have a couple of entries in /etc/aliases (such as news, root, etc) which deliver to my local account (tom). If i send a test email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the local_part_suffix works great and i can detect the suffix in my .forward file and filter as needed. If i send a test email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it delivers nicely to tom and i can pick it up in my .forward file as such. However if i send a test email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] exim throws an error in mainlog saying: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=userforward defer (-1): failed to stat /var/spool/news/. (No such file or directory) /var/spool/news happens to be the news home directory according to /etc/passwd, but surely i've specified in the /etc/aliases that deliveries to news should be delivered to user tom rather, and thus surely exim shouldn't be bothering with /var/spool/news at all? Obviously i'm having a problem with the combination of aliases plus using the local_part_suffix stuff, anyone know how to make them play nice together?
