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.
