http://www.exim.org/exim-pdf-current/doc/spec.pdf Should contain the current documentation. Unfortunately, page 1 says that it’s the documentation for 4.82, and that seems to be true. IIRC, this has been a problem in the past. However, the differences are probably small. You can find the changes at https://github.com/Exim/exim/wiki/ChangeLog Indeed, it seems there were only bugfixes in 4.84 > #multidomain > As descibed above I was able to setup postfix on a single domain, multiple > domains and bound to one specific and later multiple IPv4/IPv6-Addresses > (isolated smtpd instances) > Q: Is there an option in exim4 to do the same? This can be done with careful configuration.

Yes, just launch exim with a different configuration file, and specify the various locations in that configuration file, or sometimes from the command line, if that’s easier. > Ok, thadts all, > Greetings and have a nice weekend > Dave > > > -- > ## 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/ -- Ian Eiloart Postmaster, University of Sussex +44 (0) 1273 87-3148 -- ## 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/
