Haaa, thank you sir, now I can do some more directed experimenting. Oh, and is it really enough just to run `/etc/init.d/exim4 reload' (after making the edit) or would it be a time to use one or more of exim4's `update' commands. I'll have an excellent test setup.. I just ran fetchmail -c and see I have 227 messages waiting....
