Most people on the exim list will expect you to have tried to find the answer to your problem yourself and be reasonably familiar with the exim specification and the relevant RFC's before posting your question. http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.62/doc/html/spec_html/index.html http://www.exim-new-users.co.uk/content/blogcategory/25/35/ Very few people here will just do everything for you if you can't or won't try to help yourself first. --- If you are still keen to run your own server I have some beginners documentation that might help, but can you explain what your trying to do first: 1) Which distribution do you use at present? 2) Are you going to relay mail for any other servers or domains? 3) How are you going to send mail out, directly from your server or via your ISP's mail relay? 4) Do you have a fixed IP address or a dynamic one? 5) Do you have a domain name and MX records registered yet? 6) Would you consider using a "wizard-like" configuration **scheme (On Debian or Ubuntu). 7) Are you just testing this or will you be using a "live" domain with real e-mails and accounts.
