I use exim, and it's aggravatingly transparent. If I did dial up
another provider, it would trand sieze the opportunity to mail
anythng in the queue and, of course, get bounced as relaying.
It's tempting me to switch to another MTA, I tell ya.
Everyone on the debian-user list should send Freewwweb a mail message
saying they heard how awful their support is, and they are another
lost customer. Heh heh... distributed spamming... <slap on back of
hand>
I need to find one of those 12 hour freebie accounts.
