No. I use sendmail along with procmail and qpopper. The config is a little more than BLFS since I use TLS for mail submission and popping. > Funny you say this. The last update to Exim was by me.

They do work, but I admit my testing of the new package was very rudimentary. As you know, we editors don't have the resources to do extensive testing of every package in the book. We have to rely on reports from users.
