Subject: Re: [Exim] mailman error
Mailman sends passwords every end of month.

Some people have been getting 3 - 6 messages reminding them of their password.

I haven't been able to figure out why this is occuring, but I think my /etc/exim.conf is

messed up.

Could someone look over my /etc/exim file?
