Sorry. I gather you have something to do with Debian.

Sounds awfully complicated to me.

As I said, RH 7.2 om my laptop (this thing, Compaq Presario 700EA) gave
a number of problems. Apart from others, segmentation faults. I compiled
a new kernel. And I use Netscape 6.2.1 under Gnome. No .rpms or .debs
available.

I'm not sure who "we" are. Could it be olympus.net?
http://www.olympus.net/
Ah.
Netcraft: "The site
www.olympus.net is running Apache/1.3.19 (Unix)
(Red-Hat/Linux) on Linux."
O.k., you aren't Debian people.

So now I know a little more about you.
I'll confine myself to Exim from now on. This has been a little like
giving people advice on what automobile to buy.
Exim 4 is a WOW. And there are no .rpms or .debs available, and you have
to learn a whole lot of new stuff, but it's worth it.
Best,
Tony
