Hi William, I could not get Exim to work at all, it kept failing during compilation or building. i am sure that the fault was mine and not Exim's, I'll maybe try again later. I went for Smail instead and it seems to be working fine, it was dead easy to install (suits me) although, I have not tested it with PHP/Perl yet :-)
The whole subject of Email servers confusses hell out of me so I need to do some serious reading (hence my stupid questions!!) Thanks for the reply , cheers Mike > IIRC qmail prefers to live on a fixed static public IP address with DNS for > your site being served locally(ish).

YMMV however. -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.lug.org.uk http://www.linuxportal.co.uk http://www.linuxjob.co.uk http://www.linuxshop.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------
