And which leaves me with a question. When doing a manual compile, what parameter do I need to add in the Local/Makefile to ensure that the binary is installed as /usr/sbin/exim4? I have just realized that it installed /usr/sbin/exim-4.99-2 and created a symlink for exim to this file. It did not install /usr/sbin/exim4 nor even create a symlink for it. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 In an Internet failure case, the #1 suspect is a constant: DNS.
