Hi, why do you want to switch over to exim ... install sendmail and use it like you are used to. To setup sendmail see /etc/mail/ sendmail.mc submit.mc Oliver Thanks for the reply Oliver, i had done a minimal .iso install and didn't have fetchmail or mutt installed only exim and sendmail and apt-get wasn't working properly, it is now, and i wanted to send mail, that is why the 'limitations' and command line search question,... when i did 'man sendmail' (to see if i was forgetting something, in my failed attempts)the only man page i recieved was exim with numerous pages about various switches, (i have never used exim) i though this may be a debian standard so i thought i would ask,... thanks again. -david ===== -- david http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/197/dwd1.html "goonga-la-goonga,..." - assistant greenskeeper Carl Speckler __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
