Looks OK.

Running Exim using -C has a number of complications. Do you get the same problem if you run Exim without using -C? I've just been looking at the code - there does seem to be an oddity. Try starting the daemon, then sending it a HUP signal, *then* sending the message. -- 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/
