Sure. If you can directly receive mail, I'm guessing that you already have the DNS end of things worked out (you have some sort of name resolution working, and an MX record pointing to this box). Next, all you have to do is run eximconfig, and choose the 'internet mail host' option (IIRC, option 1) and answer the questions about your host name. Please be sure to read the exim FAQ and help files at www.exim.org - they're quitelong, but well worth it, and they can make the difference between being an open relay and being a secure mail hub. > thanks & Happy New Year > Raymond Back at ya, -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | Where's the man could ease a heart Like | | steve@lobefin.net | a satin gown? -- Dorothy Parker, "The | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | Satin Dress" | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
