yes. The Debian configuration only caters for about 90 % of users. I think that's pretty good. >and if you DO >understand how Exim works, why would you want to do anything other than >maintain your own exim4.conf? On my own servers, I actually use Debian's split configuration scheme, tailored to my needs. I think if one knows the structure of exim's configuration, having one router/transport per file makes it much easier to work with. But since your mileage may vary, there is more than one way to do it. The only thing that I violently object to is advising newbies who do not know how exim works to use a hand-made exim.conf. That's a really really bad idea. If you know how exim works, please, by all means, use every possibility that exim and debian gives to you. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
