Indeed. Don't think of exim3->exim4 as a version upgrade, but rather replacing a worn-out tool with a fresh one. Kind of like the zope2 -> zope3 change, if you're familiar with the zope world. Or, perhaps, compare it to Win3.1->Win95 or Win9x->NT/2k/XP. Same basic concepts, but new implementation and configuration. -D -- A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in. --Kim Alm, a.s.r www: http://dman13.dyndns.org/~dman/ jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
