Stick with stable/security/volatile/backports, and avoid testing. The first 4 repositories are designed to integrate well together, and none of them are designed to work well with testing (which is a pre-release build of the next stable release of the OS). There is usually a relatively current version of exim available in backports. - Marc -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
