Just tell them that SunSITE is using it. Sendmail, smail, qmail ... all
others
failed to cope with the SunSITE mail load (about 15000 msgs/day, about
1 gig of mail, on
one, albeit big, machine).
The only other mail system that coped was XTPP, kindly donated by Nexor,
however exim is a
*LOT* easier on system resources!
BTW: Where would I get ahold of bulk_mail? I don't have it in the
sunsite computing/comms/mail area.
