for a start you could take a look at http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/config_docs/exim4_spamassassin.html sorry, the link abov is most about spamassassin with exim, but there is a lot of documentation at http://www.us.exim.org/ and ofcourse the man pages:) and probably localhost/doc/exim. -- Mvh Ernst-Magne Vindal [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please include the original message in Reply -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
