If you're planning on using Debian and Exim, note that the packagers of Pkg-exim4 really have done some rather "strange" things to it (or as I usually put it "really fucked up a perfectly fine MTA, compared with the BSD packagers"), so do read the readmes, although, if you've got the inclination, I'd suggest steering clear of pkg-exim4, and compiling your own. Rolling out your own exim4.conf/config file may help alieviate some of (what I'd call) the muppetry, but still there are other "brokennesses", which can often be fixed by adding things to the "Debian-exim" group, and set-gid'ing. (we all have our prejudices, and preferences: I just really hate what the Debian packagers have done). -- ``... it was not appropriate for the jury to make a statistical evaluation of separate items of evidence by applying mathematical formulae such as the Bayes Theorem, as such an exercise would encroach upon the jury's task of weighing up all the evidence together.''
