I am running exim4, and it even didn't occur to me that there could be a directory /etc/exim4 overriding the older one. Any way, the setting's changes seem to be needed in /etc/exim4/conf.d/(routers, main?, etc?) According to the documentation, or what I understood from it, this must be done in the following sequence: 1. Change settings in the proper file in the proper directory as written above. 2. Run "update-exim4.conf" 3. Run "invoke-rc.d exim reload" There are some problems with this: In /etc/exim4/conf.d/routers alone there are several files, which exactly isn't very clear to me must be edited. To reflect the name change of the machine, what must be edited? Thanks again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
