They are releasing new versions and making quite a lot of changes/fixes really fast these days. -- enJoy -*/\*- don't even try to pronounce my first name

To use the exim filter functions, one uses a .forward like # Exim filter <<== necessary for to recognise the format if $header_x-mailing-list matches then save $home/Mail/debian/$1 endif if personal alias [EMAIL PROTECTED] alias [EMAIL PROTECTED] then unseen deliver [EMAIL PROTECTED] save $home/Mail/personal endif Exim could also be configured to use .procmail, if the user has a .procmailrc, rpocmail is available and there is no .forward.

Whatever, I won't restart this thread again. I wouldn't touch wuftp with a 10ft pole. I switched to proftpd, when there was a hole in many ftpds (creating a very deep directory hierarchy), the fix for proftpd was available after 1-2 days, but for wuftp, it took 2 weeks. Is there an upstream maintainer for wuftpd? Ciao, Martin

Or are you aware of any open ones? Sorry, that was not far of me at all was it. I think proftp had some security bugs, that have been fixed, but there is a thought based on the way it was designed that there are probably more. -- I consume, therefore I am
