If anybody would like to send me sample configurations or fragments, which
cater for various situtations, I would be grateful. As above, to me personally
please, with a tag EXIM-CONF in the subject for ease of filtering :)
                   ^^^^^^^^^
As a first cut, I would be particularly interested in offerings for the
following situations:


    a) Single host handling all Internet and local machine delivery


     b) Single mail server with client cluster - all mbox's on server


     c) (a) re-writing all "internal" form names to "external" form


     d) (b) with (c)


     e) others ...?


    f) `switch' - handles all mail for given set of domains from Internet
        by passing to local `smarthost'. Accepts mail from smarthost for
        onward internet delivery. No local deivery.


    g)  smarthost - performs local delivery for given set of domains. 
        Hosts user's mailboxes, with user's details looked up from (dbm)
        tables, *not* passwd file, for performance.


    h)  (g) with (c), etc...


Thanks,

DHS
