I'd like permission to use your explaination, and personal experience to
build a "Setting up MajorDomo with Exim" web page. As some of you know,
I had a problem myself, and would have found this resource useful when I
needed it. If the list would agree to it, and then proof-read it when
complete, I would like to set it up, and possibly have it linked in the
FAQ once we can agree all the content is acceptable.
Your thoughts?
