I am sorry (but sadly, not surprised) to hear that the UK government has done that. There seem to be a lot of "visa spats" going on at the moment. I heard of several problems with folks going to AfNOG in Abuja earlier in the year. Governments are all getting twitchy and over- reactive, and once one does it, the others follow. Sigh. For those who do not know, I am retiring from my job at the end of September, and next weeks's course will be the last here in Cambridge. However, I have run courses outside the UK on several occasions in the past, when I have been invited to do so. I would consider doing so again, but only within the next year or so, while Exim is still fresh in my mind. After that, I suspect I will be too out-of-date. Some time ago I jokingly promised to do an "Exim World Tour" when I retired. I have not followed this up ... but if there *are* a number of places outside the UK where an Exim course could usefully be delivered, and the logistics (and finance) could somehow be worked out, maybe this isn't such a silly idea after all. If anybody wants to get serious with this, please email me off-list. -- 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/
