Re: exim headaches
Hello and thanks for your response
I read the FAQ you suggested and found myself having a difficult time
understanding what it was saying. This has been a common problem for me
in trying to get this to work. I know this is a lot to ask, but perhaps
a few more details from you would help me get this going.
Thanks,
David Bellows
