I claim I was guilty too. Now I use my local ISP's mailbox.

I know using any external ISP mail box is no better. I do not have fixed IP host to get mail stably. BSMTP should work. I am talking about debian.net VHOST MX service for DD here. This method keeps messages on the Debian machine until you pick it to your local PC. So far, I am not successful. I am writing HOWTO but can anyone help me really doing this. See: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianServiceForDD This is based on famous old mails: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2001/02/msg00965.html http://db.debian.org links and poking around people.debian.org /etc/exim{4,} I see only few DD uses this yet. Yes, we should use this more. Update of wiki page will be appreciated. Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
