Hello, everybody, I have been having trouble with my mail configuration since
day one.
Here is the situation; I have my mail with one isp (swipnet), and use another
to dial up. My old isp doesn't allow me to use the SMTP server, so I want to
use my own computer for sending.
I configured exim wi
a really nice
project. They haven't released any code since they work with the cathedral method of
small, dedicated teams, but the code will be released under the GPL later.
Sunnanvind (who's been away a while 'cause some libraries broke exim, and this morning
I did an apt-get up

downloaded the entire page. I often view pages that are like 70-80 screenfuls so lynx
appears much speedier.
