This one and the *_verify lines are purely optional and having them set or not really shouldn't affect how exim works. > end signifies the end of a section > What is the purpose of those options? > > I also noticed you used the maildir format. What is the most desirable > format to use with IMAP? The most desireable format for use with IMAP depends entirely on your situation - I used maildir because I do a lot of stuff over NFS at home, and maildir is a good mailbox format to use over NFS. You can get by perfectly well without maildir - I did for 2 years on tux.creighton.edu before I switched that to maildir. - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG fingerprint: 9BF9 D84C 37D0 4FA7 1F2D 7E5E FD94 D264 50DE 1CFC GPG key id: 50DE1CFC GPG public key: http://tux.creighton.edu/~pbrutsch/gpg-public-key.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6PPs//ZTSZFDeHPwRArfmAKCzWT69w61laRQWDLgzoe+eNa7/XQCgi/vM ZeGP5Uv3gbVtTCX8MNTttyU= =UNO8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
