I've been running it internally for 6 weeks or so now (as a very messy package). I'm in the midst of converting it to use debmake as the minute and will be uploading it to master in a day or so (just started a mass package upload!). Sorry for the delayI had to get it working here quickly and once the pressure eased I never got around to tidying it up.

I've been running exim on Debian for approx. 3 weeks now. We do virtual domains with POP3 here by using a custom local mailer and a modified version of qpopper. The first step is to create a virtual_pop transport, then a virtual_pop director, e.g. virtual: domains = partial-dbm;/etc/virtual-domains, driver = smartuser, transport = virtual_pop; In /etc/virtual-domains you list the relevant domains, one per line and then use exim_dbmbuild.

That was the problem - I'm using the stable release of Debian which has version 17 of LILO. I built the 2.0.25 using kernel-package (a Debian thing :-) so it must have made a bzImage.

Sure, I like debmake :-) For hylafax I need to create 2 packages, hylafax-server and hylafax-client. In your example rules file I've changed the line "make install PREFIX=debian/tmp" to "make install SERVERPREFIX=debian/server CLIENTPREFIX=debian/client" and edited the Makefile(s) appropriately. Then later I do "dpkg-gencontrol -phylafax-server -Pdebian/server" and the same method for the client package. No big problems (the control file has separate sections for hylafax-server and hylafax-client).

I'll let you know in a week or two :-) I've almost finished getting gated 3.6a2 going under Debian. Large routing table don't appear to be a problem as of 1.3.x as a new radix tree-like method was implemented. Indeed I've been let to believe that 37K routes would only take up about 8Mb of memory. I'm planning to buy a Sangoma sync card and try full BGP4 peering with it via a new Internet link I'm going to order.
