Please respect the problems of exim-newbies in finding an appropriate documentation. With little experience that could be a serious problem. Using a standard google/whatever query you'll get lots of links to mailing lists and mirrors of mailing lists and only with luck you'll get a hit for the current documentation. Just made a little experiment: Searched in google for "exim message_size_limit" and got not a single hit for an old or current version of the official documentation within the first 20(!) pages (not searched further...). Searching for "exim message_size_limit site:exim.org inurl:exim-html" Hits http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.50/doc/html/spec_14.html in the first place. So without a doubt the search-engine ranking could/should be improved. The way to get hits in the latest documentation BTW ist to include "site:exim.org inurl:current" into the search-string. -- Regards Frank -- ## 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/
