Yeah, such as me. I've just been lurking on the Exim list but I'm still
firmly in the Smail camp. If we all decided that Exim is the direction
Smail is going, that's about what it would take for me to switch. There are
a few things I can't do without that Exim doesn't have. I might consider
trying to add them if such a decision were made.
Otherwise, Exim remains just another net.curiosity to me.

Yup, that was my point.

Heh. Yeah, I was the proponent of comp.mail.smail so I can tell you how
much work it was. And I'm not available for help with new newsgroups any
more after doing the votetaking for the news.admin reorg over a year ago.
That one was the last I'll ever do. (Long unpleasant story omitted.)
So, which direction will it be?
Allow me to clarify: Do we split or unite our community?
