[TriLUG] Exim question...

[Jon Carnes]

Here is an example of how to do it:
  http://www.reedmedia.net/projects/virtualmail/exim.conf.txt

Here is the source of Exim wisdom:
  http://www.exim.org/FAQ.html

And here is a small incomplete example...

virtual:
  driver = aliasfile
  domains = dbm;/etc/exim/domains
  no more
  file = /etc/exim/$domain
  search_type = lsearch

Note: I run Sendmail, but I have a few clients that run Exim.  Exim is no
fun to troubleshoot...
