apsfilter message



Hi to all!

I am trying to setup the printer facility in my potato box at home, using apsfilter. 
However, when I try to print an ascii file nothing happens. But by now I am concerned 
about a weird message I got from my ISP! apparently apsfilter sent an email to my ISP
administrator, who is in vacations and sent to me automatically the email apsfilter 
sent to him. Below is the email the guy got from my box. My ISP is centroin.com.br, 
my account in my ISP is chiappa@centroin.com.br. Why did apsfilter sent an email 
to root@centroin.com.br, instead root@micron (micron is the name of my machine) or 
root@localhost? 
Does it has to do with the exim.conf file? If it is the case, I want the emails 
with logs from applications send to chiappa@localhost, how can I do it?

Thanks in advance for the help!!!

Regards,

Marcelo

apsfilter: unsupported filetype
ascii text from chiappa
or missing filter !
or perhaps you have to type lpr -Pascii to print an ascii
file containing control characters or lpr -Praw to print
a file in your printers native language, when printing data
files (pcl3, pcl5, ...) ?!
