I am glad to hear somebody has joy using it. I certainly had none.
As a newbie I could install smail and it worked right from the start.
After more than a year's experience with Linux, I tried out exim several
times. I could not get it to work after many hours and after several
enquiries on this list. I would like to know how anyone get exim to work!
Some mail categories always failed and I could get nobody - also on this
list - who could help me to solve my problems. I had no such problems
with smail.
Maybe my experience suggests a setup program for exim that works and that
do not suppose a lot of expertise to install the program.
Johann.
