(This is assuming the default configuration file.)When Tony says the network address (IP number) goes into relay_from_hosts, does this translate to dc_relay_nets in update.conf.conf? Jeremiah

It looks like the answer for your question would be yes. Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don''t trust Computers.

Might I request a central location (i.e. one file) for Debian-specific exim4 documentation which might include information from the man pages from update-exim.conf, README.Debian, and Debian specific information from the Spec file? If one fails to remember the location in the diaspora of documentation one can end up asking stupid questions. Jeremiah

Care to write it? jftr, the only changes to the upstream spec file that are done in Debian are making the upstream exim-users mailing list a little less prominent and add references to pkg-exim4-users.

Since exim4 and the debain maintainers have given me so much I will attempt to write that bit of the READ.Debian file and submit it to this mailing list.> jftr, the only changes to the upstream spec file that are done in > Debian are making the upstream exim-users mailing list a little less > prominent and add references to pkg-exim4-users.I will bear that in mind.
