http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-how_exim_receives_and_delivers_mail.html That's chapter 3 and gives you the conceptual walkthrough of what's happening.

Oh, and if you prefer .txt, you should be able to find it as part of the install, named "spec.txt". -Phil -- ## List details at https://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/
