Well actually I wouldn't agree with that - I have used both and personally (for business and home use) prefer Exim. But that's a personal preference discussion not relevant here. Just because the tmda list is mostly qmail folks don't assume that there are not Exim people lurking :-) > My question is real basic: I see from the pre-configuration pages that > Exim needs some extra settings.

Can I make a > local exim.conf file to override the system one (I guess not...)?. What do you want to know? How to config Exim to work with tmda? What version of Exim are you running?

Well firstly with Exim you don't need extra overhead of running tmda- ofmipd at all don't know if qmail gives you this facility though (oops bias creeping in :-) ). OK being serious now, have a look at http://tmda.net/faq.cgi?req=show&file=faq07.006.htp > Also, I might be wrong, but I understand it so that if I use > tmda-ofmipd for all mails I send (also for pine), then I don't have to > worry about the Exim setup? Or have I totally misunderstood what > tmda-ofmipd is doing? ?? Think you misunderstand what tmda-ofmpid is meant to be for. It's not a full featured MTA like Exim and qmail don't go down that road. > Also, I am planning on including a spamassasin check before the > message is transported to TMDA.

Or must the RBL check be > implemented by the host sysadmins? Exim has full support for spamassassin plus a couple of 'addon-ons' - Exiscan and Exim-SA which give you many many options. To use RBL's in Exim is trivial - read the Exim spec doc or you might want to visit the Exim mailing list which you can do more easily on Gmane news server at gmane.mail.exim.user Cheers Patrick _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
