I will support that. I have tried maybe a dozen times to get exim running
without success. The documentation most of the time explains some
technical detail that I am not interested in. I just want to know how to
set up the mail on my single PC with a dialup ppp connection to an ISP.
That I have not been able to figure out with the present exim
documentation. With Debian 1.3.1 it was easy to do setup smail. Now
on Debain 2 smail's setup is also complicated and it took me a few days
after upgrading to get my mail system working again.
