Re: Exim store and forward
I tried commenting out my snippet and adding yours in the beginning of the
routers section. That ended up totally hosing my smtp. Pine gave me an
error saying that the smtp server was unavailable when I tried testing it.
Where exactly should I put your snippet in my exim file? And do I need to
remove the snippet that I suggested below?
thanks a lot!
