Re: [Exim] Large email lists and performance

Then I missed the discussion. If there's a better way to pipe a message into
exim, I'm all ears. Thats the only way I was aware of that worked fast from
a script.

Hey, I never claimed to be perfect. I'm still learning Exim :> Now if only I
could get all my questions answered this fast, I'd be set :> Still waiting
on anyone to respond at all to my problem with Exim not advertising the auth
esmtp command properly (read: at all).
