Yes it does, but... it's not Debian (or maybe I should say exim) specific. I'm fairly new and after reading through a few pages I decided not to touch my mail system. I still have the default exim install even though I have a Debian server/firewall. I would love to see something like this. I plan on posting some of the simple things I had to learn which frustrated me, like setting the clock correctly, or making the cd-rom user mountable (/etc/fstab). I think a really great thing would be a mini-howto on the Debian help system. As a new user it took me a while to get used to searching through man pages, finding out I could look up packages at the Debian web site, and finding out what "info" was. Jesse
