i've now 3 servers running exim, 2 of them i build from scratch which
was quite easy und very plesent to configure for my needs.
because of this i'd like to port all my mailserver to exim and started
with one outgoing mailserver.
all went very nice:)
now i wanted to port some small server which i've configured with sendmail
and virtual host-setup to exim,
that took me more time as configuring a "complex" exim configuratin with
database support :(

i'v read the faq's!
i wont criticise anybody - at least not the maitainer of this wonderful
mailer.
the only thought was - that i can't beleve that no such configuration-file
exists (the virtual setup example in the FAQ are outdated and do not
contain this features).
i'll post it when i'm finishd...
