I tried to set up virtual users and virtual domains, looked at the FAQ, and did not know where to put in the config file, what I found there. It's simply unusable this way, or at least it was that a year ago when I tried it. Even sendmail documentation is better than that, at least I managed to do it with sendmail which I put up instead of exim then. After that, I looked at qmail, and now I don't install anything else on any machine I install. > > > Speed: much slower than qmail. > > It's not that bad - from my memories of both Exim and qmail I think that > qmail has some much more aggressive defaults than Exim.
