Hi List, This is my first post here. Just a quick question about Macros in exim4.conf.template If a Macro hasn''t been set in this file/s, that means it''s been left for admins to set in their own exim4.conf.localmacros file, is this correct? There is nowhere else a Macro could have been set? Thanks in advance. Andreas

It is possible to set macros from the command line with the -D option, but afaik, the Debian package do not use this and its use should be limited to debugging and/or temporary things.
