Just my two cents: (FWIW, I'm running Debian 2.0 hamm) I have switched over from smail to exim while exim was the 1.90-3.deb version. All I had to do was to run : dpkg --install exim_1.90-3.deb and it removed smail package for me automagicaly; without the need for *any* other input. Notice I didn't have to use --force option anywhere. It was a clean, smooth upgrade. IMHO, running fetchmail to grab mail from dial-up connection in conjunction with exim is at least three to five times faster than it was with the hamm version of smail. Thanks to developers of Exim and package maintainer at Debian, regards DamirN -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
